What an incredible life Ralph lived, filled with love for his wife, kids, family, and friends. The measure of your life is not how long it is, but rather the impact you have on others. Ralph molded me and my siblings into the people we are today, as well as had lasting impacts on anyone that had the privilege of crossing his path. He worked hard and did everything for his family, and when faced with his illness, continued to live with courage, never letting anyone feel bad for him. I’m hopeful that everyone can learn something from the way that he lived. Prioritize those you love and enjoy time with family and friends. Find things you love to do and pursue them with passion. Lastly, When confronted with adversity, have great perspective, a positive attitude, and don’t give up, don’t ever give up. Don’t forget to tell your friends and family you love them whenever you get the chance. I will miss you until the day I see you again. Godspeed Dad.
Love Blake
