Where do I begin? You were always good to me, you were like a father to me. I was lucky to say I knew you. There are so many memories I could write from the past 38 years but my favorites happened at the farm in Wisonsin when I came to stay with you that summer.  Big red bucking me off into a pile of poo to the times I just got to hang out with you. Yes you are my sisters dad and it'll make her angry when she reads this but at this point I'm allowed to grieve you and express that how I see fit. We lost touch over the years but recently found each other through good ol' Facebook and I'm glad we reconnected because you finally found peace and happiness that you deserve. You are human you make mistakes we all do but at some point we are to forgive and move on. I'll miss you a lot. I'm sad your time here ended too soon. Love you always. 

Death leaves a heartache  no one can heal, love and friendship leaves a memory no one can steal.
You will live on in the hearts of those who loved you and the memory of you will never be forgotten. 
There are special people in our lives who never leave us even after they are gone. Ralph, you are one of those special people, you have touched the lives of so many.  
Not a day will go by that you are not missed, we may remember a joke you told or hear a story that you were involved in that will bring back a flood of memories.  I’m pretty sure you will live on in all our hearts forever and a day.  
You know, I think about how i’m going to miss you and sometimes I actually feel sorry for myself, but I stop and think about all the people who will never get the chance to meet you and I start to feel sorry for them.  
I’m also very grateful that your path crossed with Kelly‘s even though it was only for a short time you found true happiness and love. It was so easy for you to fall in love with an animal yet very difficult for you to open yourself up to people. You found that missing puzzle piece to complete your life‘s puzzle when you met Kelly. How wonderful is that.  Some never find love.  ❤️
As you can tell I’m writing this to you, everyone knows already everything I’ve said.  But I don’t know if you do ?   You were a wonderful man who  had the Gates to Heaven open for him way to soon.   Just remember life will go for us until it’s our time, but we will never forget you.  You will live on forever in our memories.... 
“Life is not a journey from cradle to grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to come skidding in sideways bruised and battered, totally worn out, yelling “Wow, what a ride” “
Until we all meet again....... 

Ralph meant so much to me. He’s been a part of my life for over 20 years and was a huge part of my sons life. We both love him very much and will miss him dearly. He was funny, sarcastic, witty and had a certain charm that made it really hard not to love him. He got stuck several times taking me to the hospital when I was ill and he never complained, he could make light of any situation and made things more bearable. He went with me when I had to put my dog to sleep and stayed in the room holding him extra long, talking to him and telling him what a good companion he had been for me when i couldn’t find the words to say anything. Ralph has such a huge heart and we’d often joke on how we liked animals so much more than humans. It really hurts knowing that I won’t see him or be able to talk to him again. It makes me so angry that he was taken when he was the happiest in his life. He deserved all the happiness in the world. And I hope he left us knowing how loved he truly was. 

Ralph made me laugh every time I seen him. I'm lucky that he was a part of our extended family. My Grandson Rilan loved Ralph. One time while visiting in Wisconsin my son and I were on his Motorcycle I fell off the back due to a timing issue and fell in driveway. The next day I came out Ralph drew a blue body outline in chalk on driveway like it was a crime scene. 
I will miss chatting with him. 
I'm so sorry for everyone's loss who was lucky to know him.

Ralph was my soul mate the love of my life.Our journey took off very quickly. We were very happy spending time together .Looking for vintage furniture, selling the same.Our fur babies,our shared love of old rock music.He made me really happy.I tried to do the same for him.I got to watch a man that truly loved his family .There weren't steps in their blended family.Conceder yourself  lucky if you took the chance to know this man . He was a once in a lifetime. If I was told how long we had ,I'd do it again.
