My sincere condolences to Ralph's family. I graduated with Ralph in 1964. He was always a very nice and polite person. I know it is very difficult to loose someone you love so suddenly, but take comfort in knowing they are no longer suffering. May you find comfort in your wonderful memories and may God bless you all.

Mrs. Rabke,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family. May our good Lord hold Mr. Rabke close to his heart, and my He comfort you and yours.
I work with Andra here at TPWD and was telling her how much I enjoyed knowing her dad. The few times I met him, and you, during our firewood deliveries, he was always fun to talk to and a pleasure to be around, as were you!
I'm sure you were proud to have him as your husband, as I know Andra was proud to have him as her dad.
My best to you and may God bless you all,
David Perez

Linda and Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. Ralph was one of those special men and I know you will miss him something awful. I remembered our garage sales together with Esther Mae and Verba Rhea. We had fun teasing Ralph when you put some of his underclothes on sale. Hang in there, Linda. You can do this. I won't tell you it gets easier, only more tolerable. Having good men in our lives, like we did, makes us very blessed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have so many fond memories of your family at Faith Lutheran Church in Taft. Ralph was the heart of the BarBQue, and I can still see him singing How Great Thou Art in church. He is with his Lord and out of pain. God Bless you in the coming days and give you strength!

Dear Mrs. Rabke,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Ralph. I will not be able to attend his service but I know he is smiling down from Heaven.
I worked at Flint Hills with Ralph for many years. I know he had his many ways about himself but that is why he was loved by all who worked with him. I would like to express my sorrow to you and your family.
Sincerely,
John C. Williams

I am so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing so unexpectedly. We were cousins and spent time together at birthdays when we were young, but lost touch until he moved back to Yorktown and I would see him at Aunt Di's having lunch. He was always fun to be around. God's peace.

Linda and family, our deepest sympathy to all of you. I can't tell you that it's ever easy to get over, but I do know that with time, it will seem easier. I had to go through a bit of anger for several years because I just wanted Daddy with me. I wasn't thinking of daddy, just myself. After I started trusting God and having faith ... I felt at peace and wasn't sad anymore. I know one thing for sure, Daddy was there to meet Ralph. We all loved him and had so much respect for him. God bless you all. Pattie

Dear Linda and Family
We are saddened to hear of Ralph's passing, those of us who knew and worked alongside of Ralph here at Flint Hills Resources are very sorry for your loss. For those of us who have kept in touch since his retirement, we will miss our Special Friend and the gatherings we had at the ranch. We have another Angel looking out for us, but right now the hurt is really too much to lose a friend.

Linda, Andra, Russell and family may the Lord bless you and give you peace through this trial and strength for the days ahead.
Peace to you,
Stephanie and Joyce
Andra, I love the picture of your dad sitting against the lattice. It took me back to Field Street, back to 1970 something. Put a smile on my face. May you feel God's blessings being poured out upon you. Grace and comfort is my prayer for you.
Hugs, Stephanie
