I am very sorry to hear that my SPECIAL Cousin, Ralph Muench, also called "Llittle Buddy" by us kids has passed. The reason for the term little is because our Uncle, Fred Muench, who was a Marine, and a wonderful Uncle, was the older"Buddy".
Little Buddy and  I used to run around together when we were young.  I would ride my bicycle across town and together, we would ride all over Pueblo enjoying the fellowship and the Bicycling in general.
We would sleep over at Uncle George's house on Franklin St, and had a lot of fun. Buddy's big brother Jimmy taught me how to ride a bicycle, and the whole family was wonderful.  I loved them all.
May you rest in peace my dear Cousin.  God Bless one and all.
Fred (Jr) Pfannenschmid    



I was saddened to hear from Barry of Ralph's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I remember how nice you guys were to John and I during his years on the line to become Potentate. Ralph was so supportive which helped John through some tough times!!!! John was honored and deeply touched to be asked to be a pall bearer. We will see you on Friday.  We have your family in ours prayers. 

Sandra, my prayers are with you, Ralph (Bud) as we called him while in the Navy together, a true friend and great friend even thou we have not talked face to face in many years.  I first met him in 1961 while we were stationed at North Island Naval Air Station.  Also enjoying it so much going over to your home back in those days. It made my navy life a bit easier at that time. Then it was a few years later I was able to visit both of you in 1966 in Memphis.  Bud and I spent a few months in Adaka, Alaska together in 1964.  On 1/26/63 you both attended my wedding and Bud was my Bestman.  
Our prayers are with you and your family.  

Sandra,Robin,Randy you are in our thoughts and prayers. I had the opportunity of meeting Ralph when he worked for MPD and I worked for Metro Law Enforcement Planning/ Shelby County Sheriff’s Department. Our paths crossed often and were always filled with friendship and laughter. Who would have ever guessed we would become family later in life with Robin becoming my sister-in-law. Kenneth and I have such wonderful memories of our times together. We love each of you so much. May God hold you safely in his arms as you walk this path.
