He loved America, music, drag racing, hunting, fishing and boating. He was one of the best mechanics on plant earth but was very humble and he would have never had said that. He would do anything and everything for his family, friends, and even strangers. He will be sorely missed. Ralph was a good christian man and we all know he is in heaven"
