Hi Everyone, My name is Heather. My father, Ralph, passed away in December due to medical complications. My father was a wonderfully kind man who always gave to others before he gave to himself. He made many friends and helped everyone he knew with anything and everything he could provide. He will always be remembered for his kindness and generosity.

As many of his friends and family know his favorite place to be was anywhere he could watch any ship come in and out of port. In recent years that was at a park near the river where he lived. We want to make a donation to the park for a bench dedicated to my father so that those who want to sit and watch the ships can and also for those who want to sit and remember my father in the peace and serenity of the park while listening to the waves wash up on the river bank.

The $3200 will cover the bench, the concrete slab underneath the bench, any and all upkeep of the bench which includes if the bench is destroyed it will be replaced, and the fees that are charged by GoFundMe. I want to thank each and every donator and everyone who has helped throughout this trying time.
