Dear Joyce, Jane and family,
 We are all saddened to hear of Ralph's death. What a sweet and gentle man! He contributed so much to make the world around him a better place. I counted it one of the great blessings of returning to Herkimer five years ago to be able to have some time with the Dussaults at ecumenical gatherings. You are held very close in our prayers. Herkimer misses you, I miss you, we all miss you! Please know that we are thinking about you with great fondness and love.---Patti

Dear Joyce and Family, We are deeply saddened by Ralph's passing. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers... We will always remember "Doc" as one who was always genuinely interested in what had been going on in our lives since we had met last. Knowing that he was a man of great faith, we are certain we will be "catching up" some time in the future. Our love, concern and condolences, Carolyn and Bill

Our sincerest sympathy to the Dussault family. I was a patient of Dr. Dussault from the time he returned from military service until he retired. No matter where I was living or working, I always returned to Herkimer for dental work. Dr. Dussault was not only my dentist but a good friend. I always enjoyed our discussions regarding politics, college football, education and music, although many of these conversations were one-sided. He would talk and I would nod from the chair. We take comfort in knowing he has truly earned his eternal reward. Tony Casale

 What a shock to hear that Ralph has gone to be with Our Lord! But Ralph is now at peace and in a much better place!!! He'll be singing in the "heavenly choir" !!!!! I hope it was a quick and peaceful death.

 God bless you all always. 
 Love, Pat Bailey & Fr. Paul too!

Our thoughts & prayers are with your family. Dr. was my dentist for over 35 yrs & in that time he also became a friend. He was always smiling and interesting to talk with. The one thing I remember most beside his sense of humor was him asking a question that required an answer, when he had your mouth pried opened. He will be greatly missed.

My regards to your family at this time. Dr. Dussault was a kind and friendly man. Everytime I go by his former office I think of him and all of the friendly folks there. I'm sure He is in a better place..Peace.

Mrs.Dussault & Family,
 I'm very sorry for your loss, I've known Doctor since I was very young and he was a great man to know. I was working at the Herkimer Post Office and I would see him and he would always have a good word to say and ask about my Mother and Father, they send there condolinces as well, if you need anything don't be afraid to call...
 Love Always the Fitch Family...

Dear Joyce and Family, Many blessings to you and your family. I had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Dussault from high school football in Herkimer; he was a great man. If you or anyone in your family ever need anything I'm in Greenville, MI right around the corner. My mom Jeanalso sends her blessings from Herkimer. Thanks...Jim Haggerty

Dear Mrs. Dussault, Jane and Peter,
 I hope fond and loving memories of Dr. Dussault will comfort you at this difficult time.
 Dr. Dussault's gentle spirit and hardy laugh will be missed. He will always be a part of my Cape Cod history. How he impartially cheered for both teams at the wiffle ball games Jane, Peter, Eric and I staged between the cottages at Worthington's all those summers ago. He was a great fan of our summer games.
 I will miss him. You are in my thoughts.
 Always,
 Julie

Having treasured our friendship over more than forty years, the Hirschberg family will find it difficult to imagine summer on Cape Cod without the happy presence of Ralph Dussault.
 MaryAnn and I understand how difficult it must be to relinquish one who has been so dear to you. You should take comfort, however, in the knowledge that you cared lovingly for him during his final days on earth.
 Love from us,
 Joe

Joyce and family, We were so saddened to learn of Ralph's passing. I think you know how much we loved Ralph, and how much we always enjoyed sharing storied with him--especially our football stories even though we were for different teams! Oh well, what can you do? We came from different parts of the country and went to different schools. We will remember Ralph with much fondness.

 Be seeing you.
