Laughter, more laughter, jokes stories that guaranteed the giggles, nature, family, presence, warmth are some of the things I experienced and recall during our time together! I’m so grateful for the time we shared Uncle Ralph. Both you and Auntie Rose were quite welcoming. I’m missing you!!!

Uncle Ralph my lovely darling stepdad. I am so privileged and so grateful for having this most wonderful father figure in my life. A security blanket, a stability, a supportive parent I have so much to thank him for. I feel so lucky to have had this joyful, selfless, honourable, humble, generous man in my in my life. I wish I could wave a magic wand and bring him back just for a moment to tell him just how much I loved and adored him. What a spirit !! What a loss!! I’ll miss him forever.

Uncle Ralph was a wonderful man, always interested in other people and what was going on in the world. And always smiling. So sorry not to have been with you all in person, but that was a truly lovely service. The love he inspired in his family and everyone he met shone through.
