Son I miss you today and every day. I think of you often You will always be a loving memory. see you soon love your Mom

I miss you so very much Bro, live has not been the same without you. I am sorry, I know you worried about that. There are other hurts that can't be takin away. Sometimes we think we have all the answer and all we do is add to the pain of others and break trust. And this time it wasn't me, believe it or not. We all love and miss you so much. Please forgive us all! I hope you have a heavenly birthday with Dad, we love you both so very much. And I know you love us all and would never take sides. Your grandkids are something else aren't they? LOL Bye for now being talking to you later. LOL I know can't get away from me even in Heaven

my son I miss you as much to day as the day you left me. I know you have no pain and you are with your Dad but I miss you so. Life has never been the same for me...a parents child should never go first. I feel as there is a big empty spot in my heart. Love you Son

It's been 14 years. My love for you is still the same. Till we see each other again, love you

Miss you so much Bro. It is so easy to see, it was the men that kept this family together. So sorry to disappoint you. At least I didn't say how you would feel, about anyone. I know you, haven't agreed with things I have done before and there will be more. But I would never use you to hurt anybody! Please forgive those that have done so. I have as much as I can. I am not perfect and I have never said I was. I think of you often and I have given up on trying to hold the tears back. But my love for my brother is the same always. I will miss you until we meet again.

Hey everyone. This is the first time I came across this tribute to dad. Tearing up going thru pics because it’s always so hard to do. Even though it’s always hard, the last couple years I know he’s been right there with me for it. Last year I graduated from college on 8-12 and this year was the first day I had to leave my baby with a sitter to go to work. I made it thru the day and I know he would’ve been proud of me for both.
The hardest part of him being gone now is knowing much he would’ve loved his grandkids. We all know how much he loved his kids. It’s not fair to any of us that he’s gone, but they’re the ones who really missed out. I’ll forever be telling them his stories and how much he would’ve loved them. Just like he always did for me and the grandpa that I never got to meet. Much love, Opal

It seems like an eternity. I miss your blue eyes, your face and smile. Your craziness and silliness. I love you, forever yours

I miss you Uncle Ralph!! Love you!

I miss you so much, Bro!

I miss you every day. They say it gets easier in time, but sometimes its like its a neverending day. I love you with all my heart, you were my soulmate. And always will be. I so wish you were here.

There is so many stories I could give. He was always a strong force in my life. He picked on me when I was small so much so. Well, I really didn't think I liked him much... he was like the bratty big brother.. I often thought, (when was small) one day one day I would be able to knock him out. He liked to hold my head an arms link away from him... while he chuckled. (I will never forget that chuckle) I was swinging as hard as I could just praying I would connect just once. I remembering telling him once i hope he never had kids of his own.. because he was just to mean...Time forward. I was 16 or 17 when he told me he loved me he loved me for the first time. I looked at him said.. see you can pile that Cole up around your heart as think as you want. That golden heart will always find away to shine threw. My favorite memories are times I spent with him on the farm. Like when he and Iss shocked themselves checking the electric fence. Or when I gave him a to do list on how to fend the cats and kittens. Because, the big cats wouldn't leave any for the little ones. Then my senior year in high school he called me almost every month. Asking me if I was still going to graduate, Threating me, I loved those conversations I wish I could get another phone call I wished I had been able to have spent more time with him. Wished I had a chance to say good bye... I am so greatful that he did get a chance to raise the beautiful kids he did. We was all blessed to have him in our lives. Rough edges and all...

Forever missed and loved.

Having one of those days, missing you so much and feeling the pain in a big way! I love you so much Bro!

Can't believe it's been 8 years!  I love and miss you so much Uncle Ralph! It brings me peace to know you have been resting comfortably!

he was a son every mother would want. I was very lucky he was mine. He visited me twice a week we talked about his jot, the union and always opened my jars for me and anything i needed. He spent hours remodeling my house. when he died he took part of my heart with him . he loved his family more than any one I know. he was a wonderful person God got a great angel mill him with all my heart I talk to him every day LOVE YOU RALPH A WONDERFUL SON BYE

Miss and Love you so much!

You brought a tear to my eye Jeff! He was a wonderful person and I miss him dearly!

I never had the chance to meet Ralph my loss. I love this family and all the stories I have hard only lets me know that I missed a chance to know someone that was so cool. Story after story and the look in there eyes when they talk about him it's love loss pain but a lot of times I see pride. They all seem to know how special he really was. They love to say that was my brother my son my uncle my dad. Why does God take someone that was love and needed here on earth? I don't know. But one thing that is for real real he will never be forgotten. Only loved more and more each day. Ralph I hope you now how much you were and are loved , bet you did :)

Forever in our hearts <3

We can no longer see you with our eyes, touch you with our hands. But we will feel you in our hearts forever. Your love, the kind of person u are will always be apart of us. look forward to seeing you again.

I will forever love Ralph. We had so many good times. He loved his kids with all his heart and soul. I think of him everyday wondering what his next prank would be. He was a wonderful man and he will always be in my heart.

My Bro is the best brother ever. He went from being a buggy little brother "Mom and Dad's only SON"! LOL how many times did we hear that? To being the brother that did no wrong! haha Depending which one of us he ticked off. We could never stay mad at him. And the other two would stick up for him or make excuses for him. Cause what really counted was we knew he would always be there for us. Sometimes I would try to find help other places first cause if I had done something wrong or "stupid" I got a chewing out to go with the help. None of us three girls like having him mad at us. I love and miss him so very much.
