Ralph was a wonderful kind man always smiling. He was so happy seeing the kids and gave them gum. Knew him over thirty years. He will be missed. Darlene Carr Gulley

I met Ralph through banking over 25 years ago. He always had a smile on his face and dearly loved to pull pranks on folks. He will be greatly missed.
