We are very sorry to here of passing of our good friend Ralph Goodman. He was a very good friend of the family. We will remember his humour and kindess.
Our condolences to the family. May you find comfort that he is at peace with the Lord.
With deepest sympathies,
Mrs. Lily Con and family
I only saw Ralph in the store but was always impressed by his friendliness and helpfulness. It was a pleasure to see him (usually on Sundays) as he invariably had a twinkle in his eye and a smile.
Very sorry to hear about Ralph, as the English would say, “a good innings sir”.
I’ll have a toast to him from the beer mugs we received when we attending a convention in Calgary, Alberta and working for Edoco Healey way back in 1985.
He will be missed

I, of course, will always remember Brother Ralph from his long membership in the Fraternal Order of Eagles in our province. He possessed a wealth of knowledge on the history and tradition of Eagledom in BC. A Past Grand Aerie Officer and the first Brother to be North West Regional President, he was our province’s Provincial President in 1950-51 and at the time of his passing at the grand age of 92, he was our senior Past Provincial President. I’ll always remember his dedication, gentle kindness, voluminous knowledge of literature and the arts, and a dry and lively wit. He was a true gentleman, and I miss him very much.
