Lila, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I just found out today at work. If you need anything at all call me 203-639-0589. I’ll see you soon, Bob
Lila, My mother and sister wanted me to let you know how sorry they are to hear about Ralph’s passing away. My mother said to let you know that she knows exactly how you must be feeling right now. She had 53 years with my father before we lost him in Febuary this year. It has been 6 and a half years since we lost my brother. The one thing that helps my mother is knowing that my father and brother are together now. Please take care of yourself. Except all the help your family wants to give you. Also Lila, Stephanie felt so bad that she was not with Randy and I when we went to the funeral home. She said to tell you how sorry she is. Please take care of yourself and except our sympathy. Sorry about all the other messages, I didn’t know they all got in the book. Sue

My condolences to your entire family. Ralph worked for me on 3rd shift, during this time we had many discussions about life and family. Ralph was a great co-worker and a great person, he was loved by all. One of his biggest goals was to be around to see his little girl get married, this had to have been a great day for him. It was an honor to know him.
My heart cannot fully express my emotions that I would like to share about the man Rolf Fiederlein. I will never forget the trips we took back in the day. The first time I ever went to Hawaii was with the Fiederlein family. I know he is watching over you all and our hearts go out to you….With Love, The Wheaton Family
My sincere condolences,to the Fiederlein family and friends.We will miss you Ralph. An old friend at Pratt.Don
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and I will never forget Matthew and I meeting Ralph in the barber shop and the next day Matthew was playing with his toys and pretending Ralph was playing with him, just talking away to an invisible Ralph like he was right there and now we can all talk to Ralph in our prayers and take peace that he is with the Lord and watching over us all.
Ralph : I will always remember you in my heart.You where one on my best friends.I hope you are at rest and having no more pain.All that knew you can tell great memories that they shared with you.May God Bless you and your family. Always in my heart.Ron.
