To Ralph, with love
Spread the love
When one met him first, one could easily be fooled by his quiet and unassuming manner, his seeming detachment. It was his way of sizing up a situation, and the person with whom he was to be engaged. Neath’ that unassuming and quiet exterior was a man possessed of a keen wit, a sharp intellect and almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject matter. He enjoyed a good laugh, even those of a self-deprecating nature, and was always up for a good
ole boys brawl, be it on the playground, in the courtroom, or over a round of drinks. Of course, we’re memorialising our dearly-departed brother and friend, Attorney Ralph Francis, who slipped this mortal ken yesterday afternoon, after a brief bout of illness. We are certainly the poorer for his passing.
