  Always there for me when I needed him. My move back to Nevada, going through a rough time and without a question Dad drove up for thanksgiving which we couldn't even have at the house because of renovations but loving every minute of it!

  🕯 Ralph, We will miss you at Rebecca's family dinners and other special gatherings. We will especially miss seeing you walking in with your smiley face and greeting each of us with a big, hearty hug. We’ll miss hearing about your excursions, future adventures and some mishaps. We’ve enjoyed your comments on the group family texts for dinner updates where you are often badgering one of us. Once, when I posted I couldn’t make it to dinner due to a conflict with a business meeting, you texted “Get your priorities straight”! When I think of that it always gives me a chuckle. You will be dearly missed. Sending prayers and hugs to your family and circle of friends. Love, Vera and Dave

  🕯 Hello my Brother! From the first time we meet in September of 1968, we were inseparable. My first friend after making the move to Salinas from Davis. It was the first day of 8th grade in gym class. You were a skinny nerd and an awesome athlete; the only guy that earned WHITE colored (the highest level!) gym trunks that year. I remember watching you go through the obstacle course like you were born for it. That started a 50+ year friendship. We journeyed life as best friends; hiking, camping, fishing, biking, education (formal and not), employment, marriage and children. You even named your daughter Dani in honor of our bond. I’m positive that we talked at least once a week throughout our lives. You truly knew how to be a good and faithful friend. I can tell you that I miss you more than I could possibly convey here. I love you Brother and I’m positive that you’re smiling down as you hang your body off the fastest sailboat in the cosmos. So long for now. I’ll see you on the other side.

  Last minute decision to actually attend my graduation for my Masters degree in Nursing. Mostly because Dad was so mad I wasn't celebrating it more since he was so proud of me. Always my cheerleader, sounding board and favorite Dad! Drove 5+ hours to watch my graduation and then drove home the same day just so he could be there on a day he was so excited to celebrate with me!!

  My family and I will always love Uncle Ralph and the wonderful memories he has been part of over the years. Our holiday dinners will never be the same without his laughter, mischievous twinkling hazel eyes, and his homemade dinner rolls and cheesecake.

  Ralph deep looking at the boat that cut us off our path around the buoy marker. Later that evening their team apologized by buying us a nice bottle of wine personally delivered to our table at the Sailing Club. Good memories!
