We send our deepest sympathy to You Sheelagh, David, Michael and Heather and all the families.
For myself I feel privileged to have been Ralph's friend and shipmate for almost 60 years, and will miss his "emphatic advice and opinions"
"So there you are" Usually his parting words on the phone Bless him.
