What a wonderful brother-in-law Ralph was.  He truly was a brother.  I met him when I was dating his brother, Bob...at that time Ralph was about 12 or 13.  He was a beautiful example of what a Christian should be!!   How he and Bob, my husband, loved one another.  Bob would have loved to have been able to spend more time with him.  Ralph and his family were here for the Celibration of Life service our family had for Bob.  He sent out so many wonderful fb messages.  I miss getting them.  I didn't get to be with him as much as I would have liked.  He knew I loved him, and I knew he loved me.   He will be so missed by so many for such a long time.  I know that after he saw our Lord,  he was overjoyed to be with his brother, Bob again.  And how he enjoys being with his mom and grandparents in Heaven.  His body passed away,  but his soul/spirit live on eternally with our Lord Jesus Christ in our Heavenly Father's eternal home.    Anita Turner Hall

I really love that Ralphie!  He has a way of growing on you 😉

He is to me an example of what it looks like to serve God with all of your strength.  I often said I wanted to grow up to be just like him!  Serving the Lord ministry should never stop no matter how old or how retired you are.

I have seen some have posted comments about how his suffering is finally over.  I would say that Ralph never saw this life as something to suffer through.  To him every day was gift in which he could serve God and love others.

He patiently and loving served his family and his church.  He poured out what God had given him to see others thrive in their walk with Jesus!

I know he helped both of us grow and mature in many ways.

We should all strive to be more like Jesus and like Ralphie!

We will see you soon enough buddy!  We love you.

Laughter. Loving. Large but Lighthearted. Ralph had a presence about him that filled the room for me with a sense of home and family, of connection, and a sense of being seen. It was a joy later in life to introduce him to Crystal, and then to my kids. It’s rare to know someone who touched so many lives so compassionately, and yet make one feel like you were still somehow special. My heart is grateful to Bev, Brian, Karen, and Cindy for sharing their dad with me as I grew up. The end of making new memories is a difficult chapter-turn, but I am so thankful for the memories that I hold. The longevity of friendship he shared with my parents is another layer of beauty he brought to my world. Thank you, Ralph. I love you.

Condolences to Beverly and family on the passing of Ralph. I had the pleasure of volunteering with Ralph at the Viola Blythe Center in Newark CA. This is an emergency food pantry that feeds thousands each year. Ralph was a strong and benevolent leader of this organization for many years.  I believe it was because of his steady leadership that this organization continues to serve those in need. 

Ralph was a firm believer that faith in God gives meaning and purpose to our lives. His life was a testament to this. We are better today because of Ralph Hall. 

My sincere sympathy to the whole family and friends.  I know there were years of health issues. Now the suffering is over and there is no more pain, only warmth and the joy of peace in heaven. I hope time goes fast to heal the heart from the pain and leave all those happy memories to all of you. 

Love Sandy Gregory

Did a wonderful job leading Grief Share classes!!!

Ralph was one of the nicest men I ever met. He was a leader in Grief Share which helped me immensely after my husband died. His gentleness was so appreciated and welcome during that time. Even after he would check on me from time to time. A life well-lived and well-loved. We will see him again. 

Ralph loved us dearly, and we knew that because he never failed to tell us.  He called and checked on us.  He always ask Marc about the Lord.  He made sure He remembered our special days.  He called us about a month before he passed just to say hello and see how we were doing.  

For 25 years, he was a loving pastor, a mentor to myself and others, a prayer warrior always seeking God's guidance.  Most importantly, he was seeking to serve in whatever capacity called by God.

I look forward to continuing to serve God with Him in heaven one day.
