“So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Ralph. We met him when we would sing for his son (Mike) concerts at River Valley. Such an awesome person, always so jolly and friendly. I'll never forget how he made us feel special. Prayers for the family during this difficult time. New Ground (Dale & Robbie Maxwell, David Owens)”
