Ralph has also been listed in the Last Post section of the latest NSW RSL Reveille magazine.

I never served with Ralph, except for Nirimba. My condolences to his family and friends, another MOBI gone too soon.

RIP Ralph, fair winds and following seas.

Very sad to see another MOBI taken too early, particularly one from my term at Nirimba. :tear: :tear:

I didn't have that much to do with Ralph at Nirimba. He was a nice guy, very quiet with strong religious beliefs and rarely got out on the piss with the boys, ie more sensible than the rest of us... :shock: O:) Had very little contact with him after Nirimba, other than through the MOBI Yacht ‘Nirimba’ where he was a strakeholder and helped Rick Pengilly with some administration stuff.

Wishing you fair winds and smooth seas Ralph... :angel5:
