I was saddened to learn of the passing of Ralph Greenberg, my birthday buddy, high school classmate, friend and brother in the gospel.  It has been fun to interact with Ralph over the last several years here in Mesa, AZ.  He had a way of making you feel at ease  and I will be forever grateful for his support of our eye care business.  His jovial spirit and friendly nature blessed many lives.  I will miss this good man.  I send my condolences to Jerolyn and the family.  May the Lord bless you with peace and comfort.
Warmest regards,
Doug Miner

I met Ralph in High School, we became friends in a time of life when we all thought we were going live forever.  We got into a lot of trouble but we had a lot of fun!  From trash talking, hanging out together,  snow skiing buddies, we evengot to jump out of a helicopter above park city skii resort.  Ralph and ran the bus service to help get fellow students to the Scott Gatrell benefit kegger at mount air in parleys canyon.  We hung out at the Farmers Daughter a d  learned how to play foosball together.  I was a roommate with him after high school in a little home that his mom helped him buy.  A lot of our friends learned how to roof with his dad Ray and hang out in cafes, fortunately I was not one of those.  We spent a lot of nights playing penney poker.  The trash talking on those nights got pretty colorful.I was however lucky enough to be on a chain letter we called bull from the boys while he was on his mission in Germany. I never served a mission so I felt it was even more of an honor.  I remember going  to his farewell and getting a kick out of him addressing the congregation as "Well Folks" in just about every sentence instead if the standard LDS talk where they always say brother and sisters. When he got home from his mission we became jogging buddies, we trained to run road races around the salt lake area Ralph would always beat me so I could not do much trash talking on those days.  Life and careers however have a way of separating friends.  Ralph moved from SLC to Colorado and later to Arizona.  I was invited to his home one time in Mesa and got to meet some of  his family for the first time.  He showed me his motorcycle, which reminds me our last year in high school we bought a triumph 650 motor bike and take turns using it.  Ralph had big dreams for it raised handle bar fork extensions on the front  and a sissy bar on the back.  I think we all had easy rider fantasy I am out of room  but best friend a guy could have
