Some of us have received this message:
I am writing to you in Ralphs absence. My name is Tom Hellman and am his immediate supervisor at Hixson. It is with sadness that I inform you of Ralphs passing on 2/9/13. He was a great associate and even better man. As I look through his contacts and recent emails, I am trying to pass this sad news on to all those in the industry that regularly correspond with Ralph. If you could please pass this along to those you know that also knew Ralph I would greatly appreciate it. If you should have any questions of me, please do not hesitate to email me at thellmann@hixson-inc.com
I am also attaching a link to his obituary that also includes his final arrangements.
