Ralph L. Keller

I met Ralph at Fuller's Car wash while waiting for our cars to be washed a few years ago.. As we talked, we soon discovered our mutual love of Door County. He had mentioned that he often flew his airplane there. I asked him if my husband could fly up with him if it fit with his schedule. We talked several times on the phone -- but the timing did not work out. I just now learned of the fateful day last September. My husband and I were devastated to hear the tragic and incredibly sad news. With Door County being a small community - we also know of Olivia's family. I cannot even find the words to say the sadness and grief that is within my heart for these two truly fine families. Although I only met Ralph once - and talked to him only a few times via the telephone - he left a lasting impression. I could clearly see the kindness and thoughtful way he lived his life. He was a wonderful individual and a gentlemen. I send both families my deepest of condolences along with my husband. We too live in LaGrange Park and Door County - of which both have felt the incredible sad loss.

I worked with Ralph for 10 years through NORBIC. He became a good friend and fellow Board Member. His passing is a shock and I send my condolences to his wife and family.

My condolences to all. He passed away doing what he loved. I was at my Mom's house when Aunt Vivian called with the news. So sad, maybe time will heal the hurt....
