January 16, 2020 at 5:11 pmGot to know Ralph over the past year as we’d have breakfast at the same restaurant on weekday mornings.
Really enjoyed his sense of humor. We talked about football quite a bit and the Mormon Church from time-to-time as well. This past summer the Oakland Temple was open for the first time to visitors in over 50 years — and he just lit up when I told him my father and I were going to visit.
I miss him greatly — and will not forget him. Take care, Ralph.
