Our wonderful neighbour, friend and workmate for many years. Fond memories especially of times with Kerang Swimming Club. Carnivals, training and BBQ Thursday’s, the best BBQ cleaner and cook ever! A coach, starter and all round volunteer, so many hours given. A gorgeous family man, a dedicated and very hard worker. Held in high regard by our family. We are sad to hear of his passing , but pleased we had some time with him recently. In our Fernery we have some living memories of plants from Ralph. To Julie, Craig, Leah and Troy, our condolences to you and your families. Hold the great memories close to your hearts. We apologise for our absence at Ralph’s funeral. We were unaware of his passing. Vale Ralph.
