Ralph was one of a kind.
He was one of my oldest friends and colleagues in Kahnawake who so many respected and loved. At Mohawk Internet Technologies he was not only Head of Security but the quiet leader everyone turned to for advice and counsel. May our Creator bless and guide him on the next part of his eternal journey. He will be missed on Turtle Island, but never forgotten.
