So sorry to hear of Ralph’s passing. He was always a pleasure to chat with in the Ambulatory Care Unit.. So positive and always had a chuckle. In May Bob Crutcher will be gone two years and he used to always look forward to seeing Ralph. Hopefully, they are still having a yarn. So sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry to hear that Mr. Butt has passed away. He was my neighbor on Organ Place for many years. I was a single Mom with 2 young sons and Mr. Butt helped me keep the driveway clear in the winter time. He was always kind to me and did what he could to help me. May his soul RIP

Sorry to hear of Ralph’s passing. I’m going to miss our weekly calls. Our last call was last Friday, the 24th. We talked about our usual things, cod fishing, salmon fishing, and our time in Windmill Bight. Thanks Marie for calling me this morning. It wasn’t a call i wanted but I was expecting it never the less. I’ve been thinking of you and Ralph a lot these last few days, knowing that he was having a difficult time with his illness Now my toughts are with you and your family as you go through this very difficult time. Rest in Peace Ralph. You’ve been a good friend.
