Friend's Eulogy to his friend Before beginning, I'd like to express my
deepest sympathy to Ralph's family, and wish them well in their quest to build
something positive from this shocking and sudden loss. Throughout my own life I have had
friendships that came and went, but with Ralph it lasted for 20 years. He was
simple, sincere, truthful, and kind. It was my privilege to have had him as such
a close friend. I admired him for various reasons. I admired
his childlike simplicity, his integrity and most of all his kind and forgiving
temper. He lived a life that was outwardly simple but inwardly rich.
Ralph has touched all of us whether in knowing him personally or knowing
him through others. We all carry with us that love, that warmth and
encouragement he shared. We will all feel cheated that he was taken
from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that he came along at all. Remember the joy it was to know Ralph and
the joy it was to witness the things he said, the smiles he shared, the
kindnesses he did, and how he laughed. That's how I'll remember him. And carry
on in my heart the great memories he has given me.
