Ralph Barnhart Obituary

Dear Dawn and family,
Belated, but sincere condolences on the death of your Father. I know very well how hard it is to lose a parent, and hope that time and your special memories of him will comfort you and bring you peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mrs. Barnhart & Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Ralph was a very good business friend for over 24 years. I really looked forward to our lunch engagements when we both were able to share news of our families with each other. He was so proud of his children and grandson. I could tell how much dedication he had for his family and church. A very great person, and friend who I will miss dearly.

Mrs. Barnhart, Dawn, Wendy,

I am sorry for your loss. I have such great memories from growing up on Henderson with your family. He will be missed by our family.

Mary Ann,
I was shocked to hear of Ralph's passing. I've known and done business with Ralph for 25 years. He was a much more than a business acquaintance, he was a friend. We would meet for lunch every couple months and talk almost exclusively about our families. Nothing made him happier than bragging about his family.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear MaryAnn and family, I don't have the words to explain how sad I feel about loosing Ralph.
One time I heard Ralph say that St. Francis was one of the greatest saints ever. There is a quote accredited to St. Francis "Preach the Gospel everyday even if you have to use words"
Ralph's life absolutely was the epitome of that statement. At his Funeral mass I was so overwhelmed and proud with the magnitude of his faith and service. Quietly and gently Ralph truly lived out his faith and was always willing to share it with us.
Ralph literally fed the poor (years ago my children and I being recipients of his care), administering the Eucharist to the sick, helping anyone that needed help in any capacity.
Ralph and MaryAnn always attended my children's Sacraments that's just the subtle way Ralph showed us the importance of our Catholic faith.
I want to thank you Ralph for being a good friend to me and my family. I felt so privilege to be able to attend your incredibly beautiful mass... thank you for all of the faith you have left behind for all of us. Not many of us will be hearing upon our death " Well done my good and faithful servant" I know for a FACT that's the first words you heard! I promise in your honor to do more to serve.
I love you and MaryAnn so much!
Love Marie Paul

Maryann, Dawn & Wendy,
I feel blessed to have known Ralph. He was always smiling and happy to help anyone. He made people feel good to be around him be it at a parish function or at the grocery store. He is an inspiration to us all and will be dearly missed. Our love and prayers are with you now and forever!

Dear Mary Ann, Dawn, and Wendy,

My family sends their sympathy on the loss of a wonderful husband and father. I can't remember a time I didn't know Ralph and I was honored to work with him over the years at St. Ferdinand. He was a generous man and did so much good for so many people. He will be missed. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Ralph was a friend and business associate, but he was a friend first. Ralph was a long time industry veteran who was as "good as his word".
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
He will be missed.

Dear Mrs.B, Wendy and Dawn:

We were very sad to hear about Mr. B's passing. He was the nicest person you would ever want to meet; a person who would do anything for anyone. You will carry him in your hearts every day and he will live on in your fondest memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Dear Mary Ann,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like and I just want to say that things will get better as time goes on and that at this time all we have is the Lord to go to for the comfort that we need. I will keep you in my prayers and I know that if you call on God, He will be there because His word says "I will never leave you or forsake you". May He be the special help you need at this time and always.

Dear Mary Ann and Family,
Ralph was a wonderful man, so generous, patient, kind - with a terrific sense of humor. I am so sorry for your loss. St. Ferdinand will never be the same.
