I really enjoyed Ralph's company and his personality! I will miss my brother Knight. Steve Basch
To Ralph's family: The world has lost a very good man. Ralph was kind, gentle, considerate... and corny. I was privileged to have been able to spend an increased amount of time with him over the past 20 years, and I enjoyed and will always value our close friendship. He was always full of amazing, interesting and stories of an interesting and full life. His was a wonderful gentle and comforting smile. His chuckle was a great asset that most everyone will remember, and it was always the tagline of his never ending corny jokes. He holds the unique distinction as probably the only man that became a sit-down (wheelchair) comedian, hosting his one man show, at his own care facility (at nearly 90 years old)!!! What a character! He never got over the loss of his dear wife, but his precious daughters and family were what he lived for. He was a brother, a friend, a confidant and a very special human being. He will remain forever in my heart, and that of so many whose lives he touched. RIP my friend Ken D
