Ralph was my Section Head in my early years in the Folgers Coffee Division at P&G in the 70's. He was not only a good mentor, he was also a friend. I remember a very enjoyable business trip to Brazil with him when we were working on improvements to instant coffee for Folgers. My sympathies to Ralph's family. Mike Noyes
Ralph and I went to High school together (Greenhills). We both played the guard position. We went to Northwestern together where we played in a Chicago industrial league. Having played together in HS, we did pretty good together. It was a very
rough league (everyone in the league was older) but we won our share of games.
His passing was a shock, I feel we had a special relationship.. He will be missed.\
