Ralph and family:

May God grant you and your family comfort as you mourn the loss of your Father. For me, I will remember the wonderful meal he cooked for us and how he made us all laugh. I'm certain there are so many more such stories that will always keep the memories of your Dad close at heart. And, for this and much more, he will be missed while at the same time always remembered.
