Ralph was as good a friend as anyone could ever hope for. I was a pallbearer at Ralph's Moms funeral and he was with me when I lost my mom. We also had many good times whether it was a round of golf or a cold beverage. We were very close for many years. In recent years I have moved to Wolfe City and we haven't seen each other as much as we should have. See those you love often, one of these days it will be to late. My condolences go out to the family. I know you loved Ralph as he loved you.

Coach Ralph had a large influence on our son Scott's life and career. He was always there for Scott and the other gymnasts, guiding and encouraging. We send our sincere condolences to the family.

In the short five years that I judged for Ralph and with him, I learned from him the irreverence for those puffed up with arrogance, the humor of life, the ability to listen rather than talk and to share with those who I coached and taught a little bit of my soul. May the Peace of God be on the Family and friends as they heal during this time

I have very fond memories of Ralph growing up and competing in gymanstics and even a small amount of judging meets with Ralph. He was always a gentleman and he will be missed. May God Bless.

I have good memories of growing up on the Garland Flippers Gymnastics team where Ralph and Mark Williams were our coaches. He was a good man and he cared about all of us. May God rest his soul and give His peace, love and comfort to Nancy, Kenny, Cindy, Eric and the whole family.

We will miss Ralph so much. I always looked to Ralph as a father figure. He reminded me so much of my dad, always fixing or building something. Anytime I needed any help with anything around the house, I would call Ralph. Whether it was cutting candy canes, chopping down a tree or hanging my mailbox, Ralph was there to help me. Most of the time I didn't even need to call him, I would just walk outside my back door and find him walking down the alley with a golf club in his hand. Every Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, it became a tradition to deep fry turkeys and chicken wings. Most of the guys on the alley would bring their turkeys to fry and have a few drinks while waiting. We all toasted Ralph last Wednesday night while we were frying turkeys and eating chicken wings. Ralph will be greatly missed in our neighborhood. Nancy, you are in our thoughts and prayer. Love, Bob, Rosey, Rebecca dn Rachel Restani
