June 6, 2020 at 9:15 pmHi, Kaye;
I shall remember opening the heavy door to the street entrance to UUMC for you and Ralph on Sunday mornings making your way to choir and worship at UUMC. Ralph kept his cool for as long as I knew Ralph dating back to 1968 when I was a student at Hanley Junior High School and an MYF-er with Ollie and Lorraine Duggins.
I am certain Mom wants to join me in sending our condolences to you and family celebrating Ralph’s well lived life.
I am proud of you for fighting the good fight partnering alongside Ralph for many days of well spent days and nights in Saint Louis, MO.
Welcome home, Mr. Ralph.
Kindly,
Jimmy Pace, III..
