We are so sorry for your loss. We are also sorry not to be able to attend the service but Joe has not been well lately. Ralph and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing. I spoke with him last year, and he sounded like a 50 year old. We talked about old times, when he and my Dad worked together, the Universal Christmas parties, the annual shop picnics, great memories. I remember Ralph and Helen playing cards with my Mom and Dad every week. I have a video of their Bermuda vacation together. What a wonderful couple they made. Just last year, Ralph came to one of my Galvanized Jazz Band performances in Hamden. He looked fabulous! That was the last time I saw Ralph. May he rest in peace.
I will miss you forever. Especially our talks every day.Not only my brother but a good friend. Always on my mind . Love Antoinette

My sincere condolences for the loss of your dear loved one, Ralph. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God's promise to soon "swallow up death forever…and wipe away the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8) God also promises of a time soon when " no resident will say : I am sick." (Isaiah 33:24) That is a wonderful time to look forward to! For more comforting thoughts please visit jw.org.
