Ralph Durham
Some times it takes years to get the strength to say something about a person who was a hero to you. You helped mom and pop for so many years, being the strong one who gave his early life to them, so they could have things. You were the talented one, and smart one of this small family of ours. I got to have the things in life people dream about due to your undivided love for our family. You will forever be my hero big brother. My Lone Ranger! Till we meet again Kimosabe! Hope you are playing songs for Pop and Mom. All 3 of you are together again. I hope its just like Greenwich, in that little house we shared on Melvin's farm. Fluffy running to greet angels as they stroll by. Tell Billy I said hi, and Jimmy Carter, Hank, and all of our friends who used to stop by to say hello. Uncle Buck for I know he is getting water only from our house. Grandmom, Aunt Duke & Uncle Jim, and Sam. Uncle Carlton, Aunt Thelma, Gordy, all there with Aunt Rosie, Aunt Rhodie, Uncle Tuke. Aunt Bootsie & Uncle Albert, Uncle Jack, Sam, and Aunt Jane, Uncle Allen, Aunt Aggie,Uncle Marvel, Aunt Sara, Buzz, and Jake. Grandmom & Grand Pop Durham. My the list goes on...... whose going to fill their shoes?
Walk through this world with me, go where I go!
When they say Ralph, why does he drink, why does he raise hell, Why must live out the songs that he sang! Over and over, put yourself in his position. If he gets drunk all night long, its a FAMILY TRADITION! A Durham & a Loatman! Ain't this the truth!!!!!!
