Absolutely nothing wrong with the food you delivered on your birthday Ralph ... or was it the restaurant? Many more eats, drinks and carafs will be sorely missed ... especially in the downstairs Bistro Bontje. When 5 of us went on a freebie holiday to Cyprus I remember you helping with your own birthday breakfast Eggs Benedict. As usual you were always on hand to help with the beers, wine and good company. Enjoy your rest, we will all help look after Danielle.

Whenever I entered the pub and saw that Ralph is there, I was assured of a good time. Ralph was never shy of a good story. While we were enjoying our pints of Guinness, we laughed about the rather frequently occurring special situations during your adventures abroad, especially that road trip in Romania, and you inspired me with your enthusiasm about new places you visited, like the place you visited for a wedding in Sweden. Fond memories that are kept in my heart forever. I will miss your entertaining, warm company. Rest in peace.

I became a friend of Ralph’s fifty two years ago in Bradford, here we are with a group of buddies celebrating his 21st birthday in the Lake District.
Later in life Ralph and Chris and of course DanDan became dear friends of my wife Ann and myself sharing so many happy memories over the years. Where did the time go ?
You left us far too soon dear friends.
Enjoy the mountains.😘
