I am so saddened to learn this news today. Ralph was such a sweet man & I loved taking my children to his pizza shop when I would come to visit my mother in New Vienna from Philadelphia. He dated my oldest sister, Karen, and always held a special place in our hearts. Ralph will be greatly missed.

What a wonderful soul God created when HE created Ralph. I have known Ralph my entire life, and never once did I not see a smile on that gentle man's face. My family and I will always be grateful for and remember his kindness, his love, his humor and his friendship. We pray for your family's comfort and peace during this time of loss.
God bless you,
Alice Cline Veros

We will miss Ralph very much! Remembering the old days... loved his "do it yourself pizza packs" and his infamous double decker burgers with slaw! He was a great guy who always had a smile on his face! So sorry for your loss. Love and prayers to the family.

I feel great comfort in knowing that Uncle Ralph was ready to meet God, I know that he is no longer suffering and will never have to feel pain again. For all of this I find happiness....I feel blessed for the times I got to share with him and to enjoy his love. The encouragement he always had to offer me and the laughs we shared. Even as I feel my loss I pray that God will send comfort and support to Peggy and her family, Lisa and her family, Uncle Junior and his family, Aunt Kay and her family, and Aunt Janet and her family....and to all those so very close to him. I will hold tight to this " stay paid up and prayed up and one day we shall stroll all over Heaven together." I know he believed this and that he is up there patiently waiting until it is our time to be there together!!!

You know how much we loved Ralph - such a solid part of our lives for so many years and as long as Johnathan and Matthew can remember. We are so thankful he was able to Allison's baptism and that we were able to get one more family photo with him. I know there are no words to help at this time but please take comfort that so many people loved him and lifting you up in prayer. Love, The Reeder Family.

So sorry for your loss. Your dad was always upbeat and never complained about his situation. He bragged to me once about beating the odds by living past his time to die. We also enjoyed many pizzas along with mom BettyThompson. Praying for you during this difficult time.

I was just looking at some connections on facebook the other day and sent Ralph a friend request. I truly enjoyed seeing and talking with him at our far too infrequent family reunions we held at Cowan Lake. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Ralph was an awesome man I remember from my childhood growing up in New Vienna. To me, he as the pizza king! He brought pizza to New Vienna; originally behind his house in a small shed. RIP in Ralph, till we see each other again. Prayers to his family and friends.

Ralph grew up with my dad and uncles and reached out to me on facebook a few years ago, since that time he has checked in on me an my family too many times to remember and was ALWAYS a shining light even when things seemed their darkest. Ralph kept a positive attitude throughout his sickness and was an inspiration to me as I recovered from heart surgery. I pray for Ralph's family and friends and this very difficult time.
