Condolence: We first met Ralph four years ago when he was at McClendon's Hardware in North Tacoma, WA. We were drawn to him immediately by his goodness of spirit. We sought him out whenever we were in the store, which was often as we were in a new house. We had a rather gnarly problem with the crawl space, and Ralph came over to our home, diagnosed the problem, got right in there at 80-plus years old -- and fixed everything in a very short period of time!! We learned, in time, that Ralph was a very experienced and talented craftsman, attested to by the lovely home he and Ameda kept in Tacoma. We became very fond of Ralph over the years and feel his loss. We know God will have projects for him! Love to Ameda and family. Bud & Laura Langan
