Sandra,
My sincerest condolences on your loss. My Dad loved Ralph and some of his fondest memories were of when my Dad was Deputy Reeve of Tottenham and Ralph did the Town Crier for all the events at the town’s (I think it was the bicentennial). I will have to go through the old pictures and see if I have some of the two of them together.
I am so sorry for your loss, but rest assured that my Dad was there to greet him.
