R.I.P Ralph.

The WW2 veteran was a good age (93) and though sad, a very fitting and poignant way to die.

Couldn't agree more @Anonymous and @Bambino. I'd seen a few interviews with Ralph a few years back. He seemed to be a lovely and gentle man. RIP indeed.

I have seen some interviews as well. I knew he was shot 4 times and had a bullet in his stomach which could never be removed. As his family and care staff said.. there was so much more to Ralph than being a war hero. A true gentleman.
