Ralph has given me great childhood memories of those summer days at the beach. How he would entertain us with all those magic tricks. He and Mrs. Eva were truly a blessing to all the children. You will be missed. Mrs. Eva and all the family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ralph was truly a real-life hero to us children. His love, interest and attention made us feel important and loved, and we adored him for it. What a joy it was to see Eva and Ralph drive in the driveway. We would hang onto his every word and our eyes were wide in amazement at his card and slight-of-hand tricks.



What a wonderful couple God has put on this Earth. They have given so much to all who know and adore them.



Thank you for the gift of Eva and Ralph. They have brightened our eyes and lives, and made us all better people.

I feel like I have lost a father and not just a 1st cousin. I can remember the times so plainly that Ralph would spend time showing and teaching me magic tricks when I was a young boy, visiting my grandmother, Stella Limehouse. I will miss him greatly but memories of him will be etched on my mind forever.

My love and sympathy goes out across the miles to Eva.

He was quite the gentleman.
