Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted November 17, 2003 Moderators Posted November 17, 2003 Could somebody please give an obituary of Ralph Blodgett?? I think this might be someone I went to school with also. P.S. Should this thread be moved to Obituaries? Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....
Ron Lambert Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 Ralph was level-headed, insightful, and articulate. He was an excellent webmaster for Adventists Online. I had numerous pleasant exchanges with him over the past six years, and always enjoyed his challenging quizzes. Though I never met him, I felt he was a friend. We have lost a good brother in the faith. Quote
Moderators LynnDel Posted November 18, 2003 Moderators Posted November 18, 2003 I remember Ralph on the old Compuserve SDA forum. He used to sign all his posts, "Sysop Ralph Blodgett." My technically-challenged mother, who enjoyed Ralph's posts, asked me, "Why would anyone name their son "Sysop?" It's sad that he is gone. I will miss him. LynnDel Quote LD
Joe_in_RP Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 He was a great guy. It is sad to loose him. This place is getting lonely. Quote
Paul Beach Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Mrs. Gray will miss him very much as he was the first person online to give her the opportunity to be a moderator. What a sad thing to see him go. He was quite the historian when it came to the Civil War and had written a number of books on that subject. He also wrote some computer books. The Second Coming can't happen soon enough! Sincerely, Mrs. Gray Quote
Stan Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Words in the shoutbox at www.theologyreview.com </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr /> He has been suffering sometime having only one kidney, three times a week dialysis, which all started after his severe car accident a good number of years ago. He had a trying task of hard work with the forum’s handful of dysfunctional’s who made enjoying the fellowship difficult. Most of us in the know think with dismay about the antics of those one’s when their names come to us in print for one reason or other. However, it goes to say many were thankful for his work efforts nonetheless. <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> He was appreciated for all that he did to bring adventism online. He also wrote a number of books on WordPerfect tips and hints. He was a member here, and will be missed.

Members phkrause Posted November 28, 2003 Members Posted November 28, 2003 I had no idea that he was that sick. In all the years that i've been involved with the old forum up until right this minute, I never even had a glue. Very sad day indeed. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
