Our Orangeman: Ralph Syracuse

[Logan]

I apologize for not keeping up better and offering my condolences earlier. God Speed, Ralph. You were certainly a handsome orange boy.

Dear Ralph,
Hi my Orangeman!!! It is just over a month that you have been gone! I miss seeing your face at the door when I come home from work, hearing the four o'clock BREOW that all is well, I guess i just miss YOU!!!
I was out on the bridge yesterday. The hemlock tree that you tried to eat is still there!!!
Since it is so hot, I know I would be seeing you stretched out on the table under the ceiling fan. Even with the ac on, you were always on the table.
As you know, Hope Simone sleeps in your Grainger box with the gray mouse that you got when you first came to us back in 1992. I think she still can sense your presence there.
I miss you Ralphie!!!
Love, Mom

Ralphie!!! There is a new friend for you to play with at the Bridge!! Moose, a big gray fellow! Please be kind to him and show him the ropes. I miss you, my sweet Orangeman and I love you!!
PS: Can you please give little Hope Simone some pointers on mealtime manners? Love, Mom

I'm so sorry to hear that you too suffered such a great loss this summer - there's just something about those wonderful orange kitties. Maybe our Leo can give a "BREOW" back to Ralph at the RB, as that's the way he talked to us all the time. Memories are so wonderful, but it doesn't make us miss them any less...
