“My Name is Laurie Nava. I first met your beloved in late 1973 in El Segundo. I was a tiny 7 year old. girl who was a gymnast and Polynesian dancer. My Mom and dad were students in his Tang soo do class. I would just do my stretches while watching them learn. He told my parents to get me in the class that i would be good. They declined due to finances. Well he swooped me up from the ground up to his shoulder and said, " Get her a gee, Its on me." So grateful! I loved and respected him greatly!”

“So sorry to hear of Ralph's death. I was in one of his Karate Classes in LA in 1975 while I was a youth pastor at Knox Presbyterian Church in Ladera Heights.. He was an excellent instructor and treated me well. My prayers are with you in your loss. What did he die of? He was just one year older than me. Sincerely, Dave Markwalder”

“Wow, I can’t believe I waited too long. I was stunned yesterday when I tried to look up his studio # and found out he had passed. My absolutely heartfelt condolences to his whole family. I can still close my eyes and see that impish smile he used to get when we would pull some mischievously immature prank before bursting out in laughter. Even though it has been years since we spoke , I still considered him a very good friend. A door that led to joy and laughter has closed and I am now left to rely on my memories of our seemingly short time together.. Again my deepest condolences. Gordy LeMons. @[email protected]”
