We are all thinking of you at this very sorrowful time. It is a difficult time but being surrounded by those you love will help. Aunt Pat, you took such good care of Ralph, know that this is the best gift we can give. You are in our prayers. Perhaps Mom, will be there to meet him:) Love from Kenny, Lori, Kelly, Ed
DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE SNODGRASS FAMILY, RALPH WAS A GOOD MAN MAY HE REST IN PEACE…OUR PRAYERS FOR A RESPECTFUL MILITARY CEREMONY IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROTOCOL…RALPH DESERVES NOTHING LESS THAN THE THAT
Dearest Pat and family,
We join with so many others who knew Ralph in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a very long and productive life.
The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that his indeed was a life well-lived.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.
Love,
Raja, Edina, Kelly and Sofia

We just wanted to express our sympathy to “Doc's” family. We knew him for many years while he was in Warsaw, N.Y. He was our vet and took care of all our animals for us. He will be missed and forever in our prayers.

Pat,
I am deeply saddened to read of Ralph's passing and your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
Words can not express my thoughts of DOC He was so kind and caring with our pets over the years. I never saw a man that loved animals so much. I will always remember the kindness DOC showed to animals and people alike. He will be greatly missed.
Ralph and I were always saying to each other “remember when we did it this way?”. We were known as the old timers. I loved working with him and can't believe he is gone. He may have arrived a bit late in heaven, due to his delay at the Rainbow Bridge. RIP good buddy. See ya soon.
Just ran across this notice. So verry sorry about Snods death. He and I were High School classmates, Football teammates, and great friends. One of the smartest persons I have ever known
