To Richard, Ed, Mark and Kathleen and families:
The Bucnis family sends their love, prayers and wishes at this sad time. It is with love and kindness we remember Uncle Ralph.
He was a special and generous Uncle, who showed his care, his sense of humor and his bright wit until the last moment we saw him this past summer. He was a special man. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family
God bless to everyone…sorry for your loss…he was a true blessing to everyone… I have such great memories of him and your family…love to all…
Your Dad once told me (Vivian) that he would never live to be 100. I told him that he would. He didn’t bet with me.
Brownie could read enough that he understands that Ralph died. He has missed visiting with him and with you “boys”, but his brain cannot “hear” words anymore.
Mark and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your fathers passing. How blessed you all have been to have him in your life for so long. My heart goes out to your entire family. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and in my prayers. May the Good Lord wrap his everlasting loving arms around you all and comfort you!
My Sincerest Condolences,
Shirley Reynolds Westfall

I am truly sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you as I know how hard it is to lose a parent. Your dad was a very sweet man and I always enjoyed when he stopped into the store way back in the day.
I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
