I was Shenandoahs fan club rep. for the state of Mo. from 1989 until ? I spent alot of time with Ralph. My kids thought so much of him. He was always smiling and had a kind word. I remmber a couple of years ago, I went to a little corner bar. I was told that a member of shenandoah was going to be playing with the band. I said no way! There walked in Ralph. I grabbed him and huged him and it was like seeing family. When ever they had a break he came to our table and sit with us. He was just playing with those boys having fun. I'll miss not getting to see him when I go to the concerts.I felt like he was a part of our family. My prayers go out to his family. My children and I know what it's like to loose someone. We lost their father to a motorcycle wreck in june of 06. Monday it will be 2 years. It gets easier with everyday but it's hard and you never forget.
A wonderful friend
