Deepest sympathy
David and I are so sorry for your loss. Many prayers of comfort for the family.
From Old neighbors
We were neighbors with Ralph and Carol for 20 years and they were caring and kind people. We enjoyed knowing them and their children and Grandchildren. A splendid family. Ralph will be missed by many. Our prayers will be going up for Carol and the children as they learn to go on without this loved one.
Wishing you God’s blessing and comfort.

Uncle Ralph
Uncle Ralph was the one person you could count on. He was loving, caring, honest, and dedicated to his family. I know he is heaven swinging on a porch talking with Jesus about finding a bargain. We will miss him! The Bullock family!
