Thank you Ralph for the many lovely memories that I will cherish that I have of my childhood into the teen years with my Mom (Donna Ross) and family where I first met you and Theresa at the Cobourg East Campground. Your kindness will be remembered along with still being able to hear it over the loud speaker, Ralph Propane! Ralph Propane! Every summer for a very long time was made special because of you and that is something I hold dear to my heart.
Ralph has long been an incredible family friend to us. As members of Cobourg East Campground for almost 15 years, the Lazar family became a pivotal part of our amazing summers in Grafton. From playing horseshoes on Sunday mornings, to organizing pancake breakfasts, to being fondly remembered by all of the children as “Ralph Propane”, Ralph never failed to bring a smile to our faces. And as we got older, we were lucky enough to continue to have Ralph and the Lazar family in our lives through activities at the Y, to Jeremy and Emmalee’s weddings. He will be greatly missed and we send all of our love to the entire Lazar family who we know are missing him so very much right now. Love, Shaun, Pam and Kyra

Dear Peter and family, My sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your heroic father. What bravery he must have had in braving conflict and resettling to Canada. Our fine country was built on the toil of people just like your father. With much respect, Stephen Della Casa.

Sending love and hugs to all of you too.
Dear Teresa & family, Be assured your are in my thoughts and prayers. Ralph was such a great neighbour, watching out for me and giving good advice when needed or asked for. He had so much experience and wisdom to share. Will always remember his impish smile and twinkle in his eyes when he was sharing stories from his past encounters. Will miss seeing him and hearing him on his lawn mower! May God, our Heavenly Father, comfort you now and in the days to come. Hugs and prayers, ?? Win Hibbins .
My condolences to Teresa and family. Ralph has a special place on my heart. He was aways there when I wasn’t sure about something to do with the trailer. Always went out of his way to give a helping hand. Besides all of that he was a friend with a big heart. Rest in peace my friend. (Amigo). ❤️❤️
