I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. As far back as I can remember her was always Mr. Layton to me. On several occasions he asked me to call him Ralph. More often then not he was called Mr.Layton, ha-ha. Mike, I remember way back when your mom was our troop leader for cub scouts. The meeting were at your house on 1st ave. I have good memories of both your parents.

Lynne and family,
I regret we will be out of town and will be unable to pay our respects in person.
Please accept our condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing your father for many decades and then as a neighbor. What a wonderful fellow to know, and of course, having your lovely mother and Ralph as neighbors was a joy.

We are very sorry to see Ralph passing. He was a great friend and we always enjoyed playing golf with him and seeing him at the GAC club on Wednesdays. We were unable to attend as we were on the golf trio that Ralph enjoyed with us many times. All of the golfers send their condolences to the family. We also bought a very large bottle of crown and everyone toasted to Ralph! We will miss him.
