Ralph Jr., has been faithful in overseeing the entire operation. Finding the right people and offering special services. There is nothing he likes more than running into a family in the grocery store and hearing "everything your people did for us helped us give Dad the send off we wanted". Or, "We don't know how we would have made it without everyone at the funeral home."
Ralph Jr., understood families were suffering the worse kind of pain so they come first. He had suffered the loss of his Dad and his Mom which gave him a taste of what grief was like. The community was there for him which helped him to know what all of that means. But, he became even more sensitive of grieving families acute pain.
