My Dad was the best man I have ever known in my life, he never met a stranger and he would help out anyone that needed it, his home was always open to all friends and family, and you would never leave his home hungry. He was the best husband, father, and Papa. His family was his life, he loved telling his grandsons bedtime stories and tinkering in the barn teaching them "boy things". He is missed beyond words, but he will always be in our hearts and remembered forever. I love you Daddy.

Ralph Blackman was a amazing man.. he was not my papa but since day one I knew he was my papa thru anything. He loved making people laugh and smile, if he seen you having a bad day he would sit and listen. Papa will always be loved n miss and he will always be in my heart, and loved his family and friends and his loved his great grand son Logan. But he will always love his family.

Uncle Ralph, we had such a great relationship. I loved spending time with you and Aunt Bonnie especially playing cards. You will always have a big part of my ❤. You and Aunt Bonnie helped me be the person I am today and I'm so greatful. Love always and forever
