OUR DEAR DAD,
OUR DEAR DAD,WE WILL SURELY MISS YOU. OUR FAMILY LIFE WAS SUCH A SPECIAL AND A HAPPY ONE BECAUSE OF YOU. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER ALL OF THOSE FUN, AND HAPPY TIMES THAT WE ALL HAD AS A FAMILY .ALL THAT YOU DID TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL THAT YOU TAUGHT ME, YOU WILL BE MISSED, YOUR MEMORY WILL BE CARRIED ON IN OUR HOUSE, AND IN MY HEART. LOVE ALWAYS BONNIE JIM MICHAEL CHIP,
My fondest memories of Ralph was the summer spent crewing for him on the Mirage. He took a novice sailor and showed me the ropes, and we finished the year #1 on the lake. He and Audrey always had a smile and time for a chat on their way to the church on one of their many repair missions. It was sad when they left the island and sadder still now that he is gone, but we will always have cherished memories to hold dear in our hearts.
We all have so many wonderful Mosher Family memories!
Ralph was certainly a unique character and everyone who knew him benefited from his intelligence, abilities, inventiveness, teachings, kindnesses and humor.
He’s home now, probably trying to mathematically rearrange the order of the stars…or perhaps building a sailboat for another try at it!
Thanks for the memories, Ralph!
Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy are with his family, whom he deeply loved:
Audrey, Nancy, Bonnie, Connie, Alice, Michael, Katelin and Brittany.
Love, Bill and Marlene Brown and all the family
So sorry to be hear about Ralph’s passing. I have many many fond memories of Ralph and Audrey while growing up. My conversations and experiences with Ralph helped me to become the caring and understanding parent I am today. I consider my time spent with him a very special gift. i will miss him.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of such a great man. Not only one of the great minds of our time but an even greater heart. Ralph influenced my life more than I think I even knew as young man. Never judgemental in a critical way, only with care, compassion and genuine concern for bringing out the best in us. Some of my fondest memories of childhood are of time spent with the Moshers, both locally and at Winnapisaukee. They are truly too numerous to list. Such a great man, of great intelligence and an even greater sense of humor will be missed more than words can say.
I must say that one of the major highlights of my adult life came just a couple of years ago when I shared a prospectus and marketing plan with him for an invention of my own. After reviewing it while I was involved with a conference promoting the product, the ever simply stated “I think you got it kid” couldn’t have meant more or been more inspirational. We love you Ralph and will always remember you. And after 40 some years, nor will I ever forget the photo of you looking up mast, with the newspaper cutout “frogs have it made, they eat what bugs them.” Fair winds and following seas my dear friend. Rest well and God Bless.
The King of the family and the most
influential man in my life in starting my business and career, as
an Inventor and product promoter.
and one of the greatest people to follow, with his achievements in life as well as my parents; especially my father, a supporter in my life since day one.
God bless from all in the MosherKenyon family. With love your grandson Michael Kenyon
Good Bye. It was a pleasure knowing you these many years.

Dear Audrey, Nancy, Bonnie and Connie,
With tears in my eyes, as so many of us have had since the news of Ralph’s passing, I send my love to the 4 of you. How lucky we all have been to have had Uncle Ralph in our lives through the years. How many times have we found ourselves asking, “What would Ralph say or do?” Or recalling the practical jokes and stories from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, especially from Lake Winnipesaukee. The friendship he had with my dad was lifelong, and I know they are together in heaven having a Scotch, finally together again sharing memories. The moment Kevin and I were engaged, I knew who would walk me down the aisle in my dad’s place. Ralph Mosher was a rock. “Work hard play hard” his motto. He couldn’t have done all he did without his family, who he so loved. Whether you met Ralph for 5 minutes or knew him for 5 decades, you felt lucky to have spent that time. He will continue to inspire another generation with the meaningful life he spent on Earth. xoxoxo The Ramaley family
Many Happy Memories, especially singing Amen after his always thoughtful Grace!!
Nancy and girls brittany and Katelynmy heart goes out to you and yours during this time. I only met your dad once but easily saw how much he adored you all. You are in my prayers. Please take solace in knowing that you made him proud. love and miss you
marshayes, it really is me
Ralph was a leader of men in the military and business, a loving compassionate husbandfather to his “Ladies”, and a fun loving interesting friend to all. We loved Ralph and will always remember the many great times we shared with him. We will miss him but will be with him in spirit while continuing to enjoy the company of his family. God Bless – Lois and Joe Matocha, Albany, NY and Largo, FL – MEMORIAL DAY 2008
