My dad

Ralph
1923-1998

Bowtied boy, gentle man
how we wish you were here.
Fixer of anything 
moving parts, broken hearts
such was your skill.
A magician with animals
and wizard with wood
Ellen's prince charming
gentle Ralph, lovely dad
you are remembered so
with loving fondness today.



For the Record
This day came in sunny and warm with a fledgling catbird and parents to entertain us with our morning coffee.


All hands remembering our wonderfully loving fathers.
