PDG Lions Ralph & Millie were super great Lions and have been a big part of the Franklin Park - Manila Lions Club family. Both of them are both very supportive, dedicated and true to the motto “WE SERVE”. We will surely miss them and may their souls REST in PEACE.️️‍♂️

I have many memories of Lions PDG Ralph Koller aka "the other Ralph" and Millie Koller. Lion Ralph K. and I shared the same first name. He tag himself as the "other Ralph". I can close my eyes and hear him shouting across the room "Hey Ralph. It's the other Ralph". PDG Ralph K. inducted me into the River Grove Lions during his term as governor and from there my career as a lion grew to be governor of the district. Thanks PDG Ralph K. Both PDG Ralph K and Lion Millie were dedicated Lions and always there to serve. Sue and I will miss their presence at Lions gatherings. Our deepest condolences go out to the family on their loss. Godspeed Lions Ralph and Millie.

"WE serve." Ralph and Millie both wonderfully exemplified the motto of Lionism, serving our Lions District 1A and their Brookfield-LaGrange Park Lions Club with joy, enthusiasm, and steadfastness. Their legacy is that they made the world a better place, daily, in a way we can all admire. A smile, a handshake, a laugh, these are the best memories we will continue to cherish of Millie and Ralph, two very special people who touched our hearts in their inspirational commitment to service and community. Helen Keller said it best: "What was once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never loose, for all that we love deeply  becomes part of us." ~~~ Helen Keller Millie and Ralph will forever be "part of us" LaGrange Highlands Lions, who will deeply miss them, cherishing remembered friendships and bonds. We send our heartfelt prayers and condolences to their family during this very difficult time.

We lost two good Lions and two good friends when we lost Lions Ralph and Millie. They always made you feel like you were family, even if you weren't. Lion Ann and I will surely miss them.
