Hey Daddy,
Gosh it still just doesn't seem like this is real to me. I love you more than words can express. You were always there for me, you always believed in me and accepted me no matter what. You were the best papa to Gage. I will honor you and love you forever and ever. You were truly my best friend. I couldn't have dreamed of a better Daddy. I love you now and forever,

Extremely saddened when I heard the news of your passing. It was roughly 23 years ago when we worked together at Reilly Buick. I can remember those days like yesterday. I was a young teenager who knew nothing about cars. You helped me understand how an automobile works and how to work on cars I'm grateful to have had a chance to know you. My deepest thoughts and prayers to your family.

Dear Ralph,
I was completely heartbroken when I found out that you passed away. It may have been quite a few years since I have seen you, but you were a such a positive and amazingly insightful part of those incredibly hard teenage years. You always had the best advice, a hug, and a huge smile to offer. You will truly be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this amazingly difficult time. I know you're in a far more peaceful place. I love you Ralph. Rest in Peace

You will be so very missed that words cannot even express the loss that we feel... You always told us, "I if I died tomorrow know that I was a happy man, and be strong for me." So we will do our best. We are all lucky to have been so close with such an amazing dad, papa,and friend, as you have touched so many people in your 52 years here on Earth. We love you and now have the best guardian angel in the world.
