Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Ralph was a very special person who left us with fond memories of a life well lived. As a member of the Everglades Striders Running Club, he made us proud with his running feats. Ralph encouraged others to improve their running through hard work. He coached me to run my first Orange Bowl Marathon. He stayed with me through the finish line in spite of his painful calves due to running much slower than he was used to do. I will never forget this act of kindness. He loved Wendy, family and friends. We will miss his strength of character, his engaging smile and positive manner. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7

Ecclesiasties 9:11 says unforseen events happen. We never know from one moment to the next what will take place but we do know according to the Bible that "death will be no more." Rev 21:4 We have the promise of seeing our loved ones again, such as Ralph. What a glorious day it will be to see his infectious smile & kind eyes & to hear his voice again. I look forward to sitting on the fishing bank, next to Ralph, waiting for that next big catch, talking about the next big adventure, then he picks up his guitar and plays a familiar song.... My heart goes out to Wendy & all of my family. Death is our enemy but we have hope through the Ransom to have victory over death. May we provide support to one another & show love through these difficult times. With tender love & affection, Andrea (Cole) Pike & Bobby Pike Thomas ville, NC

Wendy,
I was very honored to have served with Ralph. He was an exceptional person, always there when you needed him and always willing to help. His expertise in the Avionics Section was unsurpassed. I'm grateful for all the memories. God bless.
