In Memoriam...
Ralph Barnes Jr.
Father of one of my longest and closest friends. Lost his battle with Multiple Sclerosis last night at the age of 50.
He was a loving father and almost like one to me. Over the last decade he slowly lost much of his independence and gained alot of pain and suffering, but he never faltered in spirit. I only hope I can live up to that example when my own time comes.
This is him on the lower right, getting to see his daughter graduate from high school a few weeks ago. He said it was the last thing he needed to do before he went.
Bye Ralph, I'll miss you...
