Sorry to hear of Ralph’s death. I am Mildred Gorth, formerly Crouch, and I lived in the station in Granton with my dad, Fred Crouch, the railway agent, and my brother George. We both went to Granton School. I remember Ralph’s grandma and her Jersey cow, as well as his parents. Edith Jones Stewart was a teacher and she loved your sister Barbara and would bring her to school on occasion, even though she was just little. I didn’t know that Ralph was in Sarnia. I am 94 and live in my home at 1474 Hunt St., Sarnia, ON, N7S 3M7. 519-542-3018. I would like to hear from Grant or Scott.
Thinking of you all at this time,
Mildred Gorth

Isaac & Margaret Langford Newcastle west Ireland.
Was saddened and shocked to hear of the passing of your father Janice, Scott, Marilyn, Caroline, Sharon and families, and your partner Helen. We cherish our memories of Uncle Ralph, including his love of “goats” while my dad supported GM products and the fun the two of them had because they looked alike. Your dad always said he was the good looking one while my dad countered with something to the effect that he was happy he got the brains. Cherish the memories,
So sorry for your loss.
