In our youth we were like two peas in a pod. Wherever he was I would be not too far behind. I will miss tremendously. I came to Canada because of him. He stayed in Canada and I migrated to the USA. Regardless of the separation I would occasionally call Rita, he was not a phone person. I was privileged to be on stage when he won pan solo. I’m very thankful for him being my brother. Love Tan.

Uncle Ralph.....from teaching me to whistle at age 9, to your career advice in navigating the corporate world.... your blunt relationship advice was always right and your stories will be missed.

Oh gosh Uncle Ralph, we are gonna MISS YOUR STORIES!

Your unique life experience blazed a trail for so many. You supported our dreams and inspired us all to reach our full potential and in our success, you will live on. We spent a great deal of time together over the years and for that I am eternally grateful.

My dearest Uncle Ralph: You found peace in the happiness of others. May you Rest in Honor.
