We would like to share our deepest condolences to Ralph's family. These are some photos that Ralph shared with us a few years ago. We came together then as an organization and got Ralph a belt buckle that represents the over 30 years of dedication to our organization serving as our treasurer and secretary. Ralph started this organization in the 80s all while owning and operating Hanchett Manufacturing. We cannot put into words what Ralph meant to this organization and industry. We were honored to have Ralph join us this year at our spring meeting. He will be deeply missed.
