I recall Ralph giving us a ride to his place on Martha Vineyard 72-73? and staying there for a few weeks. He was a great guy!
“The Captain” and I enjoyed our meals with Ralph at the Nursing Center. I remember trying to get him to play bingo with us, and he would always tell me that he didn’t want to. He was truly a good man and will be missed. I am sorry for your loss.
