Happy Birthday brother. We all love you Ralph

Ralph, I hate you because you are gone, and I love you because you were my best friend... I'm mad, angry, sad and happy all at once.. No one understood you the way I did.. No one made me laugh the way you did.. We had the connection where we could look at the same thing, not say a word and burst out into laughter, knowing what the other one was thinking.. You always told me you loved me.. For one man to tell another man he loves them is difficult.. But you always did.. And I never forgot that and I carry that into my life today..
The times we had together I could never forget.. You truly were one of a kind.. I still have yet to laughed as hard as I did with..
You were so stubborn, and thick headed but I loved you.. I truly loved you.. I had a soft spot for you when others didn't ..
I'm mad at you for leaving us.. I'm mad at you for the deicions you made... But I love you for just being who you were..
I wish you were here man.. I wish We could make eachother laugh again.. I love you man and miss you a lot..
Even though your stupid license said your birthday was in December I know it's today.. Happy birthday..

Happy birthday in heaven, our angel. Always missing you down here.

Thanks for your bright smile and warm heart. I will remember you forever. Ralph you are missed.

Thinking and praying for you Ralph" ~RIP~ Brother !!! One Love! This memorial page is officially permanent!

You will always be in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts Ralph. Allah Yir7amak w tkoon nafsak bel samma.

You are still here with us Ralph in Spirit! You are truly missed every day, loved every moment, and always held in our hearts brother!

Happy birthday in heaven, Ralph. Bishop Gregory said that our entry into this world is not our true birthday, but rather, it's our entry into paradise, and that's the far more joyous one. I miss your infectious smile and your kind heart. The void you've left remains big and deep, and I'll be thinking of you and praying for you until we meet again.

Today I think of you more than any other day because I remember two years ago you said: "I can't believe we're almost 30, We're getting old Rich" All I can say now my brother, "Its not the amount of years we live my man, its the amount of Life We Have In Our Years" and truly no one brought out more joy, laughter, and fun than the life you had inside you! It was like a dream, it felt like yesterday! I know you are smiling down from High Above! I truly miss you man, life is short here on earth, I want to celebrate with you when I see you. Happy Birthday Brother! You are in Eternal Rest! We pray for your soul, pray for us! ~Richie~

Hi Ralph, I wish you a happy 30th birthday in heaven today. I still remember when we celebrated it together over Pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving and will never forget it. It was one of the most beautiful holidays I've ever celebrated. Until now I still can't believe what happened to you and wonder how you're doing on the other side, along with my cousin and grandfather. "Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come" - Isaiah 57:1. This quote is one of the few, which helps provide an explanation to me for what has happened. You were a good person with a Loving heart and I'm sure you are living like an angel in heaven, watching over us. Treasured in my heart you'll stay, until we meet again some day. Rest in eternal peace Ralph.

Everyday is a memory! Every wish is a dream! Every visit to 67th street is reminiscence of kids growing up on the block, there is more to great laughs, silly jokes, cracking on others, we became boys to men, we stayed real to each other and true to ourselves. One night, one moment, no signs, no warnings, I never thought the last time I saw you would be the last time to say goodbye. I felt like it would never be a last time. When will I see you again? Missing you brother. Never forgotten. Truly a hero to your sister, Doris. ~One love~ R.I.P.

Wow today is 1 year you left us from earth and returned home to God. It's still so surreal and so fresh in my mind. You are on my mind constantly. I hear you voice all the time , in that low soft tone and I would always respond with " why are you talking as if this were a secret" lol. Our trips, hafli's , festivals and conventions replay in my mind over and over reminding me how much fun we had together . You always made sure we were all safe and protected.
I wish we could have done more to protect you.
We love you and miss you dearly. Keep watching over us brother .
Until we meet again ...

Happy birthday in heaven, Ralph! I miss you so much :(

Happy Birthday Brother ! Your Soul Lasts a Lifetime! Forever Young!

Real life has been replaced with burrowed time. This is my after life here on earth. Missing you greatly. I remembered when you bought me an iPad about 2 christmas s ago. You were so excited when I was opening it. You were so happy and thrilled just to see my reaction because you just wanted to see me happy : )

In honor of Ralph Hansen on this memorial day, we will never forget you my friend and will always miss you deeply !

How fast things change..seconds, minutes, overnight. Last year we were at a Memorial Day BBQ. Now this Memorial Day I'm writing on your Memorial page............ I wake up each morning to realize the reality of life. Sometimes I rather stay dreaming. The pain from missing you grows deeper and more painful each day.

Ralph, on this Memorial Day I am remembering and thinking of you because you were a trooper in my eyes. I know you are watching over Doris and your family the way you watched out for all of us girls while we grew up. I am so blessed to have experienced the relationship you shared with your family and others, through both good and bad times, and I hope to carry that with me in life. You are Forever in our hearts and prayers.

Ralph, you're always on my mind. Some days more than others...like today. I still haven't wrapped my head around it. I know you're happier than we can imagine, but you are so dearly missed.

3/20/15: 3 months have passed and I haven’t seen you. We base our lives on this so called “order”. We do things we plan things. We anchor ourselves to time and numbers. We orient our brains to categories, straight lines and perfect squares to give them a meaning. We have a hierarchy of things that we expect to happen in our lives. Yet such geometry occurs nowhere else in nature. This is the order that process our actions. Somehow nature is so beautiful and perfect the way it is without symmetry. I won't hold off on opportunity or doing things just because I feel that maybe now is not the right time or first I have to do something else. Kronos- its about the appointed time.

I remember the first time I met you and who would be my future best friend, Doris. Even then, as a child, you were always at Doris's side protecting her. It was four of us girls, but you were there to guide her and make sure she was okay with her new neighbor friends. We played volleyball in the backyard and I thought Doris was a bit weird from laughing and smiling at everything (Something I have come to appreciate now). You played on quietly smirking at Doris, and played down for us younger and smaller girls. I would have never known then that you would be in my life for years to come. Sometimes I would drive past your house, you would be outside with your pops working on the cars. You would smile and wave me down, you would lean your elbows up against my passenger car window like you always did. "Where are you going?" "You need help with anything?" "Hows Doris doing?" I would always laugh, and you would chuckle and say "what's wrong?" even though you knew you were acting like an older protective brother to me. You would ask about my family, genuinely wonder how my siblings were. You always had a million questions to ask, because you cared. Through my life, I have learned that most people will just ask the same mundane questions because they feel they have to, nod their head, and move on with the day--leaving you the same way you felt before the conversation started. But you always made me feel like a real human being, a story separate from everyone else. It was truly refreshing.

You drove me and Doris everywhere, with no return favors (although we would take your car occasionally and you would ask us to get a car wash.. But ONLY from "VIP," the most swag car wash on the island). You were always there for Doris, but you were always there for me when I needed something. I remember even once I was on a date and you were driving down the block and saw me in his car.. You stopped near my house and waited until I got in okay. Back then, I thought you were crazy for doing that; hindsight, you were just being you. And of course the next day I would have to answer another 21 questions. To make sure he treated me well, and make sure you didn't have to guard by my house for the next couple days..because if I asked, you would do it in a heartbeat. You had the most kick-ass stories to tell us, take 5 hours to shower ON a camping trip, drive me to check movie times when Doris was too tired to hang out, and enjoy days and nights with me and Doris.

Although I think you and Doris are in some ways different, the reason she's my best friend is because she cares like you do. You left us way too soon, but you will continue to live through her, her smile, her laugh. She will remind all of us of you, and that I'm so grateful for.

Today is 8 weeks... Today is Valentine's Day,,. You would always bring home heart shaped chocolate boxes along with flowers for both mom and I. For me you would also bring a small stuffed animal that sings. Last year it sung " I'm stuck on a feeling, high on believing that you are in love with me" we would replay it and dance and laugh. You loved the idea of celebrating love when we all thought it was overrated and a gimmick. You loved giving love! I love you so much.

Life is so short no matter how long it is. we might live one more day, and we might live twenty more years. Ralph, your life on earth was too short yes, but haven needed one more angel, and the angel was you. you suddenly left your family, and all of us to where Jesus prepared for you a better house and a better life. I thank you for being a so kind, gentle, polite, caring and loving person. the fist time I met you, you were a little child brought by your family in the early 90s to get baptized at Our Lady Of Lebanon in Toronto, During my only visit to NY you were that peaceful and strong and caring person the pride of your sister and parents. The last time I saw you was in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania last July in the NAM Convention. You became such a mature, handsome, kind and distinct and attractive personality that impressed me lots. I was sure that many persons were very much willing to talk to you and get in touch with you. The story does not finish here as seems to be since we are called for eternal life in the Kingdom of the Father. We keep you in our faith and our prayers until the day comes and we all meet again with you and my nephew Joseph and all the departed loved ones..

Special thing about LIFE is that Life never takes you back, no many how memories you have, no matter how much you may think about the past. LIFE only brings you forward. If only we could go back and do a thing differently, if only the person we hurt could see how sorry we are. Perhaps they would understand. The decisions we make have been made. There is only accepting things we have done and moving forward. ..I accept the realization but I can't help but think of you all the time.
