We were so very sorry to learn of Ralph's passing. He was a wonderful man and our neighbor for 15 years and I always enjoyed our conversations very much. He will be missed by many. Our sincere condolences to Winnie, the family and all those who knew and loved him. Much love, Laura & Jon Orginos

Winnie, I am keeping you and the rest of the family in my prayers. I am sorry for your loss. I have known Ralph for my entire 56 years of life. As far back as my memory goes, I can think of times spent with Ralph, as well as the rest of you. I can remember so many New Years Eve's at your parents' house in Wynnewood! As I grew up, I was blessed to have Ralph to look up to. He was a good father and family man. I always admired him and the family that he was an important part of. He was intelligent and fun to talk to. He was always good to Marty and I as kids. May he now enjoy eternal peace and rest with our Heavenly Father.

Winnie and friends,
Ralph was one of a kind in the world of air vehicle international standardization. Highly respected by all his colleagues from the USA and the rest of the NATO and ASCC worlds. I'll never forget the ASP/WP NATO meeting where no chairman was designated -- Ralph talked me into being chairman and totally and completely had my back and made the task easy. Ralph was not only a great engineer but most importantly a good friend. I'll miss you, myte (as we often jokingly referred to each other). Rest in peace, good friend.

Ralph has an awesome gift of relationship. As I traveled with him, I observed that he would get lost, become completely absorbed, in places and things in a city – it’s flavor of relationship. That was especially true with Brussels – places to enjoy wine and great food.

Ralph’s ‘relationship’ passion made him a perfect piece of the puzzle to bring about oneness with our Allies and other nations. It was not only what he brought to the table of harmonization, but it was that spirit of friendship and atmosphere of relationship of Ralph’s persona that was an invisible catalyst.

With Ralph’s wellspring of harmonization relationship, he has been lifted up to a much, much higher level of harmonization. God has a need for Ralphs on His End Time Team for bringing His people into harmonization.

Ralph/Winnie: May YHWH, Father God, He who exist bring all that He is to your family as a life in Jesus Christ. May the Lord’s face shine upon you family in providing protection and resources. May the countenance of the Lord be lifted up unto your family, bringing His gifts for your family.

Shalom friend and brother

We are so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing.
He was so much more than a co-worker, but was a great friend and travelling companion as well. Beth and I will miss him enormously.

I can't express just how much Ginny and I enjoyed visiting with Ralph and Winnie. Ginny was always so excited when they were coming to Columbus to visit with Grace.
I know it was the highlight of Grace's year and Ginny's too. The last visit he brought me a nice bottle of scotch which I believe we opened and solved some of the world's problems. What a great, kind and sensitive man. He will be greatly missed. My hearts out to Winnie and family.

Our hearts go out to Winnie, Jennifer & Arthur, Michelle and Brad, as well as all the wonderful grandchildren. Ralph and Christopher are now reunited in God's loving kingdom forever. It has been a honor to have known and worked with Ralph for so many years, and a pure joy to have been his fantasy baseball buddy. May you all find comfort and forever be blessed by Ralph's memory.
Love,
Steve & Ilene Schwaber
