Our dearest, Ralph.
Not only was your love incredibly evident for our sister Susan, it was so easily given to us all. It was NEVER in short supply.

You were always the first in line to help with whatever was needed, whenever it was needed and for that we will be forever grateful.
From Hamilton to Hampton Beach, sunsets in Mexico to British movies on your couch, the memories made with you will last for always.

You will be missed.

Uncle Ralph always knew how to liven up a room -- whether it was the morning after my graduation party where most of my college friends were down and out, or if it was a rainy day Hamel Palooza, I remember all it took was just a one-liner from Uncle Ralph to get the whole room cracking up laughing. His ability to tell a story and infectious laugh probably helped a lot too. Thank you for always bringing me a smile.

Bill and I went to visit Sue and Ralph in Arizona. We arrived late morning and met Ralph at their office where he started sharing his adventures about the vodka business and quickly started pouring shots . Before we knew it we were quickly on our way to being inebriated which
Made his stories even funnier and the vodka taste better and better.
Here’s a toast to a great friend and husband to our dear friend Sue.

Well, Ralph, you finally went and did it—got the last word. I can almost hear you now, offering one more stubborn, loud-as-hell opinion from wherever you are, convinced you're right (and maybe this time, you are).

You were hard-headed, sure. Opinionated? Absolutely. But somehow, my sister Susan loved you anyway—and you loved her right back, with everything you had. And that, my brother-in-love was enough for me to love you too.

You drove me nuts, made me laugh, and ALWAYS showed up when it counted. So here’s your send-off, delivered with a smirk and a nod: you were one of a kind, and I wouldn’t have traded you for a quieter, easier model. Rest easy—and try not to argue with the angels too much. Love you Bro.
