Boy! There is a lot to say about this man. "Play ball God dammit" "Stupid Game" "Jimmy make sure the hamburger buns are done on the rack for tomorrow." Me "sign me up on the chalkboard when you get down there." He ...(choked up).did a lot for me. Steve, I drove a 73 Benz last week and a Mustang Gt. You would love the Auto shop I work in now. I also became a tennis professional . Hope your playing your harmonica and jamming with the legends. Don't worry I won't share the tomato cheese soup recipe or the black bean. I got through life with your help and I can never repay you except to pass in on. Rack em up and I love you! Jim

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of my cousin Steve. I just recently found him on Facebook after many years. We spent a lot of time together as kids and took a month long trip with him and Rick across the Us and Canada. It’s so sad him and both his siblings have passed. It hurts my heart

We met at Max's where I worked the door and he worked the pool table. Ralph told me about a radio show that he and a friend had at Chico State. He said that they had a fictitious character on the show whose name was Massive Man which he then assigned to me and that is what he would call me every time he would see me. He was definitely one of my favorite people that I met while at UofO.

I was around the age of 16 when I met Ralph (this was in 2015). He was my neighbor and then later on became one of my best friends at the same time. We would hangout at the bench in front of our apartments and talk and play guitar, sometimes even go on walks (it was probably one of the best times of my life). It's hard knowing that he's gone, but at least he's in a better place now.

R.I.P Ralph, I'm going to miss you buddy.
