I so enjoyed John's interviews with Ralph and his beautiful daughters. What a wonderful full life Ralph lived. 97 years of pure honesty. A life where one can trust what father says and the way he did his job here on earth. I will miss him and John getting it on. No matter what they did, or where they went they had us in the palm of their hands. I think one of Gods plans for Ralph was to show the world you don't have to be the most well known or the one with the most money. You can do it on your own. I am pouring my heart out for Ralph because he deserves a good pat on the back. He  deserved all the love he got from his daughters. They sure loved him. Thank God John found him to share to the world.

So sad but so thankful that he’s with Jesus 🙏
Praying for your family. Carmen from Georgia

So sorry for your loss. I enjoyed watching his videos he was a good man. Prayers for all his family and loved ones.

Thank you to who ever shared the gospel with Ralph
Sadness turned to joy when I read that he excepted Christ
What an example he was of living a stress free life and knowing what’s really important - his family!
Thank you daughters for sharing your Dad

We loved Ralph and loved his videos on “The Appalachian Channel” on YouTube.  This  generation are national treasures and needed to be respected for their knowledge of our American History that our so called leaders are trying to erase.  I love the stories and this generation is probably gonna be the ONLY source of your local history!  Listen carefully when they’re sharing them .  Treasure this generation and God rest Ralph Robertson’s soul and bless his wonderful family.  Loved that his beautiful daughters let him live in his own home and saw that his needs were met daily.  Ralph was a blessed man !  Barry and Janet Stapleton

I am very sorry for your loss! I have wonderful childhood memories of Ralph and Magdalene Robertson. Going down to the their store and to shady Grove Church. They both were always so kind. When Magdalene hugged you. Well, it was  a hug you never forget. I loved them both. I have special memories of them as I know you do but they will be greatly missed! Gail (Cheek) MCCormick
