To the Vasquez family. I am so sorry to hear of Big Ralph's passing. I love him so much and even as I grew from a child into a man, he and I would always be happy to see each other from time to time. As long-time neighbors, you all are family to me, and I always cherish the memories of growing up with Ralph and Vera's children and in knowing that Ralph and Vera loved all of us kids on Lindale as their own. I send my heartfelt condolences to all.

To Vera and the Vasquez family
You have my condolences and thanks for sharing Ralph with the youth of St Patrick´s Church in my days of the 1960´s.
Coming from an immigrant family that often walked con la cabeza agachada Ralph imparted confidence and self esteem by leading our fast pitch softball teams to city championships, Diocese and tournament championships. He influenced a generation of young guys to believe we could be winners and we could be champions. He inspired many success stories.
Ralph didn´t stop there. He continued as a community activist but that´s a story for others to tell.
