Dear Pat and family -- we just learned of Ralph's passing, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. We remember Ralph through all of our school years in Columbia -- always there, and always part of everything, with a heart a big as they come, and thus, always in our hearts too. We're sending you our love and hugs. Dave & Kathy Riebeling
Many years ago I worked at the FS elevator in Columbia.From 1967 to 1980. Ralph was always stopping in to tell a joke or story.He was such a special young man. My job moved to Waterloo and I knew his Mom passed but I always wondered what happened to Ralph. I'm so glad he was able to find a place that he loved. He deserved that. Thanks for the lovely tribute about him.
My sympathy to the family.

Patricia and family: I am so sorry for your loss. Ralph was a very special person. I will always remember him best as a part of the Columbia Eagles baseball team...the pride he took in helping out with the team and his inimitable team spirit. I am sure you will miss him greatly but know you have wonderful memories about Ralph and about how your family in particular, as well as the community, pulled together in supporting him. Please accept my condolences. Rita Diehl
A thought of comfort and condolences to the family.
