To the Kline Family, I was saddend to hear of Ralph’s passing and will keep you in my prayers. Ralph worked with me and my co-workers at the Conowingo and Holtwood fish lifts for several years and we always enjoyed having him with us during the busy spring field season. We also enjoyed him stopping in to visit us during the “off” season at our office in Drumore, PA. I had the chance to visit Newfoundland with my son this past October and I now understand why Ralph enjoyed visiting his relatives who live in that beautiful area. May God bless you all during this difficult time. Ray Bleistine (Normandeau Associates, Inc.)

Aunt Theresa, Duane, Eileen, Chris and Marty and families. It is with a heavy heart that we offer our condolences on the passing of Uncle Ralph. We were so lucky to have visited and stayed with Aunt Theresa and Uncle Ralph several times in PA and Uncle Ralph loved showing us around and taking us to places of his childhood and youth. We treasure the memories from those trips as well as the memories from all of their trips here to Newfoundland. Uncle Ralph was so kind and that little twinkle in his eye was awesome! He will always be in our hearts ♥ Sending all of our love and prayers and wishing we could be there. xoxoxo Jackie, Dean, Jillian and Nicholas Codner (Torbay, Newfoundland)

Aunt Theresa, Duane, Chris, Liam, and Family,
I’m so very sorry to hear of Uncle Ralph’s passing. I consider myself so lucky to have known him so well and cherish the memories we have with him. We loved his visits to Torbay, where Ralph and Terri would take in so many adventures that the rest of us could hardly keep up. I’ll never forget the summers when I was younger and Liam came with them to visit. Even though I was the one born/living here, they showed me so much of the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland than I had ever seen before. I will never forget our day trip to Brigus that we took during their last visit in 2018. Even when they weren’t here, Uncle Ralph was always cheering us on, following along with special events and milestones in whatever way he could. I’ll miss our adventures and the chats. Thinking of the entire Kline family and sending all of our love to you at such a difficult times. We love you Uncle Ralph and we will miss you dearly.

Aunt Theresa, Duane, Eileen, Chris, Marty, Liam and extended family,
Our hearts are broken with the news of Uncle Ralph’s passing. We always enjoyed his visits to Newfoundland; his stories and company was such a pleasure. On their last trip we spent the day on Bell Island. Touring the community, taking in the sites, eating ice cream and fish and chips and enjoying the ferry ride. The biggest highlight for me was seeing how he care for Aunt Terri and the joy he felt seeing her happy. I have such a beautiful picture of them that I will cherish forever.
We are sending all our love and prayers your way. We wish you guys were closer so we could be with you at this difficult time but please know we care ever so much.
Love: Kira Codner and Dean Fitzpatrick

We are so saddened to hear of Uncle Ralph’s passing. He was such a beautiful soul, and the nicest man and so wonderful to his family.
We always enjoyed Ralph and Terri’s visits to Torbay. I could talk to Uncle Ralph for hours. So many wonderful memories. He didn’t miss a St. John’s Regatta when he was here. Especially if myself, Alice and Stephanie were rowing. It meant so much to have him there cheering us on. We will not forget him, and will miss him. Sending Lots of Love, hugs and our Deepest Condolences to you all. May you rest easy Uncle Ralph oxo
