While Ralph, in his later years was somewhat controversial, there is no doubt that he was one of the leaders if not THE Leader in making collecting of the Luger a great endeavor. His passion for the gun inspired others to learn about and collect this beautiful, deadly, but fascinating thing we call the Luger.
His knowledge was encyclopedic and anyone who spent any time with him came away more knowledgeable.
He taught me a lot and I hope he was my friend.
My thoughts go out to Nancy, who BTW is having her own health problems on the loss of her husband and soul mate.
I will miss him. May he rest in peace.
John
