Ralph Klotzbier

Ralph was my grandpa and more than anything he is someone who I have always used as the type of man to be. It still is hard to write the word was in this story. He has always been there to meet me with that great smile we all know he has. He was always the one that never got too worked up and was the rock for all of us. He made so many sacrifices in his life. I will miss going to the movies with him, have him share all his stories with me and all the one on one time he always made for me. I wish he was still with us and I could go over to grandpa and grandma's house and give him a big warm hug and tell him how much I love him. But I know he knows that and is smiling down on all of us and telling all of us to whip our tears. I love you and will always miss you. Love always, Chris Tucker

When we got to grandpas house he first gave the girls and I a little tour around the back yard at all his treasures he loved to do, His grapevines and all the things they grew in the garden, the beautiful apple tree ,then he asked the girls would they like to see something neat that he made and we went down in the basement and oh the look in his eyes when he was showing the girls his train set , he loved them asking whats this grandpa , and what does this do grandpa and oh did he love showing them what each and every thing did and he answered every question they had , i bet he would still be there sitting there playing with them and showing them one of the things he loved, and then he took us to the indianapolis musuem boy did I have fun , we stopped at every car and he told us all about it , the planes, the motorcycles when he was telling me about some of them specially the bumble bee as he called it it was like we were right there at that moment that the car was made , I didnt get to know grandpa very long like most of the family but i know we loved him very much and he will be missed very much ,love you grandpa Ralph love Nick,robin and the girls

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time.

He was my favorite customer, at the Pharmacy I used to work at. I enjoyed our little conversations and the home grown tomatoes he used to bring us. Please accept my condolences, as I am not able to attend the service. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless
