WOW!!!, this was not expected, came back to the USA for the Crossing of a church brother and found my contact with a good friend was severed, Did not expect this. This man helped me through many problems, he was the voice I counted on after the loss of my own father, He helped fill the void in my life. He was a great friend, Chatted about radios, electronics, cameras, life, cats, everything. I will miss those chats. Good trip Ralph, In Her Light and Love, peace to your journey.

Met Ralph in early 2006 at one of the local camera shops. Pretty much immediately became very good friends with him. RIP... Will miss talking with him about photography and traffic signal technology.

Ralf was always a good Elmer to us hams and non hams as well. You will be missed Ralph. It was always a joy parking kites photography and ham radio as well as many other subjects with you. Rest in peace my friend. Calvin kc7iyp and wife Brenda.

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one.

I am so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing. He was a great incentive for me, so helpful in all aspects of amateur Radio. RIP Joe W7TYN.

Farewell to a fellow ham who was a character and was someone who made contributions to his friends and his life. RIP, OB. Steve Morris K7LXC

I'm very sorry to learn of Ralph's death - he was a good friend to me and my family. The ham radio and search-and-rescue communities will miss him greatly. Ward Silver, amateur radio call sign N0AX
