    My most sincere condolences on Ralph’s passing. I worked with Ralph back in the late 70’s at I-T-E (Siemens) after I was transferred back to Toronto from Quebec.
    He was always bright and cheerful and had such a nice outlook on life.

    I didn’t know that Ralph had moved to Barrie or I would have contacted him. I moved to Barrie in 1975 with my family.

    Please pass on my condolences to Ralph’s family.

    Thank you.

    My sincerest condolences on the passing of your Father/Grandfather.
    I work in the same industry as Ralph and we all enjoyed his gentle demeanor!

    We would catch up at all the local conferences,Blair, Jeff,Steve Myself and your Dad, enjoying a beer (maybe 2). he would talk of his times in Barrie with his Daughter there or do north of Kingston with the Boys…you could tell from his stories that his family was his most important thing in life!

    I’m sorry I was unable to attend his celebration.

    Ralph was unique! R.I.P.

    Robert Matchett.
