I am updating a list of local Delta Sigma Pi alumni and while I never knew him personally, am saddened to hear of Brother Erz's passing. I trust the world was better for him having dwelt upon it. My condolences to the family. - Laura Stockbridge
One of my favorite memories with Ralph was the time he put us (The Fall Guys) in the Sooner State games, and decided we would fly from Tulsa to OkC. He got all new Shirts with the team name along with equipment bags and we walked through the airport like a big league team. I believe that in many ways being around Ralph and his happy, positive attitude rubbed off on many of us and made us better people. My one regret is not getting to talk with him before he passed. I will always think of him and miss him. Rest In Peace “Tiger” until we meet again!!!!
We have great memories of Ralph at Leo and Deb’s pool parties on the 4th of July. He loved his family and was so happy to see us all. We had so many great times at the Watch parties when Tress was playing football . We are so thankful that we got to know him . He will truly be missed .

I remember it all started with softball. I will sure miss that big smile and our little chats at the family gatherings. You will be so missed.
Some of my fondest memories of Ralph were at the watch parties and of course the 4th of July parties. Ralph’s smile would light up a room and I’ll never forget his belly rolling laughs . He loved life and his family. Going to miss you sir. HTTR. Steve Way
Ralph was the life of watch parties at Leo & Deb’s house, for the Washington Football team, it just didn’t feel right with out him. His laugh & greeting was the best, he made the day complete. We will are going to miss your contagious laugh. Love you good sir. See you again . Oh also “Dilly Dilly”🍺🏈❤️🙏🏻
One time Nan and Popop took Cole and I to Wendy’s. And after Popop ordered all of our food in the drive-thru line, the guy taking the order made a smart aleck comment that really ticked Popop off. To which Popop responded, “how bout I come in there and shove it up your a**.” When we pulled up to the window to get our food the guy was so scared he didn’t even come to the window.
As many incredible and funny stories I have from Popop, I can only hope I’m half of the storyteller he was. I’ll never forget the time he got to meet his great-grandkids for the first time. Thank you for everything Popop, I had so much fun being your grandson.
Love,
Tress, Bri, Beau, Harper, and Hadley
After 49 years, I came for a visit and got to spend time with Uncle Ralph and his family. They opened their homes and their hearts to me. Such a beautiful family. From then on, I got to enjoy so many wonderful phone chats with my uncle. He had such an infectious laugh and endless list of subjects to talk about. His favorite thing was his family and sports. He kept me posted on all the changes and beautiful additions to his family. I will truly miss him. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. Your are in my heart and my prayers.
Much love,
Your cousin, Sharon
