So saddened to hear of Ralph passing. When Sherry and I first moved to Litchfield Park AZ from IL in 1987 he was one of the first people we met. He was such a personable man and a pleasure to talk to. Even though we did not see him as much in the last several years, we have great memories from the conservations we enjoyed with Ralph in the past. Our heartfelt condolences and thoughts go out to the family.
