Rose Anne and Harvey Lawton are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ralph. There are really no words that can take away the pain one has during this time. Please take solace in the truth that many of us if not all of us are sharing in your pain.
“Death will leave a heartache that no one can heal,
but Love will leave memories that no one can steal.”
Out thoughts and pryers are with all !
Ralph always had a smile and a wonderful story to tell. He lived a long and well lived life.
Aside from his earlier life as a Veteran and his work with life insurance, he was a gifted carpenter
having given many toys for the grandchildren and items for our homes. His
flower gardens were exquisite and the fresh fruit from Victoria was always very much enjoyed.
Visits to and from him and my mother were always memorable and enjoyable… May he rest in eternal peace.
Uncle Ralph always made me laugh. He was only happy when everyone around him was laughing. Every time he and my Step- Father, John, got together, they would joke that they finally going to get a home cooked meal. No one ever fed them except when they were together. Then they would pay their pot bellies and laugh.
I will hold him in my heart.
