Sad News of the Passing Away of our President - Vic Ralph

It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you of the passing away this morning of our President and much beloved friend - Vic Ralph (No 1 Cdo). I cannot at this moment put words down to describe how deeply upset we all are, and how missed Vic will be to his family, his Commando comrades and his friends.

Hopefully I will be able to post details of his funeral once I have spoken to his close family.

Rest in Peace Dear Friend.

Vic
It was a great pleasure to have known and talked with you,to have drank and laughed and been a small part of your life.

One of a rare breed with real humility and kindness.

A true 'Gentle'man.

Rest in peace Vic

May we join in expressing our sadness at hearing this news. Unfortunately we did not have the privilege of meeting Vic like some of you. Hopefully, at some time, more will be written of him by those that knew him well. I know we would be most interested to hear of his life.

Our best to all,

Bob & Janet
