Randy, Deepest condolences to you and your family. Your Mother and Father were special teachers at Herculaneum. Together they started many students on a path of success in their adult life. One memory of Ralph that I do have, in the students vs teachers annual basketball game, your Father made a token appearance(the H.S. student student body went nuts) Ralph snapped his ankle in his 1 minute appearance. His playing days were over. Again Randy, your parents will always be in the hearts of all BLACKCATS.
Our sincere condolences to Ralph’s family. Ralph will be greatly missed by his fly fishing community friends and family. He has been the backbone of Tri-Lakes Fly Fishers Youth Program for many years. I can’t begin to count the number of young peoples lives he influenced with his teaching and mentorship. He truly loved the sport and the sharing of it with others. His passing leaves a big hole in our club and in our hearts. We were blessed to have known Ralph.
Sandy and Nick Halteman
