I found out today that Ralph passed on. It made me cry at first until I started to remember the good times we had. He was always laughing and smiling even though times got hard. He was there to lend a helping hand and had words of encouragement to me and my kids. No more birthday cards or holiday surprises from him. I know he's in a better place now. Til we meet again.

To Misty Lynn and his other children/ Red. Your father was a loving and caring man who lived his life to the fullest. He exemplified all that a man should and could be. His love for each of you was planted deeply in his heart. May his eternal love carry you through all your days.

Barbia, Donyea & the Churchill Family...
The Bible states that we were created in God's image & that is certainly befitting for Ralph, he represented how God want his children to be >> selfless, thinking of others, never failing to lend a hand to help those that had a need. Ralph's kind attributes were too numberous to mention every one...To those who life he touched such as my own, the lost of him is "GREAT." To those that never met Ralph truly missed out on a "REALLY FANTASTIC, KIND HEARTED" individual!!
May God give you strength, peace & comfort during this difficult time of grief.
