So sorry to hear that Ralf passed may he rest in peace if you saw he was always talking and laughing loud that was his life god bless the family Shirley Hardin
Ralph has been a part of my family for as far back as I can remember. He worked for my dad and uncles at Foster Rebuilders for many years. He always called me his sister and was very protective. 30 yrs ago I was 16 & working at Hardee’s after school and on weekends. Ralph would come in after Nite Life or Pink Cadillac closed and stand right by the doors making sure that no one disrespected or talked out of the way to his sister. He was like that with me up until the day he died. No matter how long we went without seeing each other, he would say there comes my Sissy! I LOVE YOU BUBBY AND WILL MISS YOU EVERYDAY ❤️❤️❤️
He will truly be missed. I always got a hug & kiss when he saw me. We could talk for hrs! It always surprised me when we would be outside how many people would honk or wave at him. EVERYONE in town seemed to know him & love him.
RIP Beecher house mayor!
