I wish to extend my deepest condolences to Ollie and your family.
After I joined the fiancé department I reported to Ralph for most of my years with the department. Ralph’s office door was always open to me to consult on any issue I had. He was my mentor and my friend. He had the greatest respect from the entire department and certainly me. Rest In Peace, Ralph.
Condolences are extended to all members of Ralph’s family.

We are very sorry to hear of Ralph’s passing. We had many good times with him and Ollie through many years of curling and get-togethers at their home and Tim Hortons. Our thoughts are with you Ollie and your family.
