Condolences & Memories (19 entries)

• I was very sad and deeply sorry to hear of Ralph’s passing. I to have many, many memories of Ralph growing up together in Melville from grade one, until we graduated together. We still have the wedding gift of a clock, with his name on the back. Almost forty years ago. As a kid, I found out Derwins middle name was Ralph. The cat was out of the bag, so to speak. I remember saying to him, Ralph! He once heard my mom call me Shelley. The game was on from that moment. Time slipped by CN had there hand with my move to Winnipeg, with Ralph to follow years later. I would sincerely like to remember that we were still friends in spite of distance and time. I am profoundly sorry for your loss. I have many fond stories and memories. - Posted by: Sheldon Liebrecht (Friend) on: Mar 23, 2020
