Ralph Jr. and Family,

I know some of how much your father meant to you, how much you respected him, how proud you were of him. I am sure there is an emptiness in your heart for him right now. Yet, over time, you will find that emptiness will be filled with your memories of your father, and his love.



Your friend,

John Kohls (Kuriyama of America)
