• I played violin in Ralph's band "Willie and the Boys". Ralph was a wonderful musician with a great sense of humour, which left him open to many pranks. I'm sure he, Lorne Ferley, and Willie Bond are playing some good music together. My deepest condolences to Joan and the family. Until we meet again 🙏 - Posted by: Daria Watkin (Friend ) on: Jun 24, 2021

• Mr. Trombo was a great principal and set an example for kids at an important, developing stage of their lives. Respected and admired him from the day I first met him (and only got called to his office once). I remember one time (grade 2-4?) that I accidently called him "Grandpa" during a conversation, but I think he was that kind of a man. Later in years, when I moved back home, he would still come and talk to me if we happened to meet at a local function. Another Teulon icon and leader in our community. - Posted by: Andrew Carlson (former student) on: Apr 03, 2020

• Our deepest condolences to Joan and family. We were saddened to hear Ralph passed away, I always enjoy running into Ralph around town, even if he was in a hurry he’d always ask how my kids were doing, what’s new at the marsh. He always made me laugh he had such a sense of humour. I’ve known Ralph for over 20 years. He volunteered at Oak Hammock Marsh for a while assisting school groups with our critter dipping program. The interpreters loved hearing Ralph’s hilarious school / principle stories. Ralph was such a funny , kind and genuinely caring person and he will be missed! He was one of a kind! - Posted by: Cathy (Friend and Volunteer coordinator at Oak Hammock Marsh ) on: Apr 01, 2020

• We send our condolences to you Joan and family. I have known Ralph since a child. He was our Elementary school principal. Always enjoyed meeting up with Ralph & Joan at various events and they always sat and have a chat with you. One of my closest memories is when we had a Easter egg hunt in our classroom and I had to check out the teacher's closet but I was to small to find the easter egg inside so he picked me up to find it in the closet. A loss of a very special person to so many and the community of Teulon. - Posted by: Georgina Jones (former student ) on: Apr 01, 2020

• My wholehearted sympathy to Joan and your family! Over my years of knowing Angela I've also been warmly included in a number of visits with your family, especially one Christmas Joan and Ralph would not let me be alone even when their home was filled to the rafters! I've always been amazed at Ralph's interest in talking with everyone he met, such a warm hearted and very diverse person! He will be missed by many! HUGS to you all! - Posted by: Rose Anne Burdeny (Angela's girlfriend ) on: Apr 01, 2020

• My prayers and the prayers of my family are united with all of you during this time. Mr. Trombo’s smile and willingness to share, a joke or fresh fruit and vegetables or a story, are linked to many visits to Teulon. As a child and well into adulthood, Mr. Trombo was always welcoming to all of us. His friendship with my father lasted many decades and I’m certain “Willie and the Boys” will be reuniting for an Easter Jam session. With love, Maureen and the Ferley Family - Posted by: Maureen Ferley (Longtime family friend ) on: Apr 01, 2020
