Ralph Bayer

So sorry of Ralph's passing. He was such a dear friend to me in the Oakwood family circle. Love to all his family. Patti Delmore

With caring thoughts,

I knew Ralph from Oscar Mayer. Always a smile on his face and a sincere gentleman. He was well loved by his co-workers.

We were blessed by knowing long time neighbors Ralph and Catherine Bayer, and now their family will be similarly be blessed with heart warming memories. Best, Chuck and Helen Maulbetsch

Ralph's Pinochle card friends are sending our deepest sympathy to you, his beloved family. Ralph spoke, so often about his wife, when she was here and his wonderful daughters. You were everything, to him!! He loved you so much!! It was heartwarming, to see a man express his love, the way he did about you. Ralph was a quick learner. He picked up our game, at rapid speed. It was so much fun, the guys against the gals. His frequent partner, Jim Tollers, recently passed. Ralph was quite the singer. We attended his choir preformances, to hear him. Donna, who lives on his floor, said she could hear him singing, in the shower. He would chuckle at that one, as their apartments were on opposite sides of the elevator. At a Talent Show, he read a piece about getting distracted and taking all day not to get done what was planned. It applied to me and apparently, to him, for him to have chosen it. I think of him, often, when I am having one of those days. Ralph was ambitious, giving to others, helping out at the store and with the pharmacy. He was so excited about that pharmacy position. We will miss Ralph's smile, chuckle and laugh. He had a gentleman's presence! Covid precautions kept us from physically attending Ralph's Celebration of Life. His memory is with us, all. We are so glad he was a part of our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Vera Eidsmoe Patti Barlow Donna Olson Pat Davidovich
