Obituary
REGIER, Ralph Douglas
It is with great sadness that we announce our beloved Ralph was suddenly taken from us on Saturday, January 30 at the young age of 62. Beloved husband and best friend of Sandra (Rowland) Regier. Wonderful and caring step-father of Nicola (Boaden) and Andrew (Boaden) and father of Shaun. Sadly missed by his parents Lennis and Alma, sister Sharon and brother-in-law Ted, brothers Alan (Shirley) and Jeff (Christine). Dear brother-in-law of Gillian and Michael (England) along with many nieces and nephews. Ralph was a loving and genuine man and we are blessed to have had him as part of our lives. It was our priviledge to have shared the time that we had with him. He will be missed by so many, especially Rick and Leanne Ward and Keely, to whom he was “honourary grandpa”. Friends will be received by the family on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 from 3-5 and 7-9 pm at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London where the funeral service will be conducted in the chapel on Thursday, February 4th at 1:00 pm with Father Francis Thekkumkattil officiating. Cremation to follow. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 150-633 Colborne Street, London, ON N6B 2V3 would be appreciated. We love and miss you “Ralphie”.

Ralphie,I cannot express how sad I am – I miss you so much. You were taken much too soon, I guess you were too good a man for this earth. You will be in my heart and thoughts always!! And don’t you worry, I am taking good care of Mummy. Love you Ralphie..always xoxoxox
Dearest Sandy, Our hearts ache with the loss of our dear friend Ralph. We are in shock and already feel emptiness at the thought of not spending time with him. He was such a fantastic friend to us with a smile and a kind word, seeing us through the good times and the bad. We will always remember him as a strong generous man who always had the time to crawl around on the floor and play with his girl Keely. We will miss seeing the bond between Ralph and Keely grow but he will always remain a special part of our lives and will always be thought of as Keely’s “Honorary Grandpa”. Sandy, we love you cannot tell you how sorry we are for your loss.
Rick and Leanne
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
We cannot express how truly sorry we are for your great loss.This poem has always given me comfort and I hope it does the same for you.Ralph was a wonderful and gentle man.Isabella sensed that, the day they gathered pine cones together. We were blessed to have known him.He truly and deeply loved you.We will always remember you Ralph.xo
And if I go,
while you’re still here….
know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure – behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
– both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest,
And when you need me,
just whisper my name in your heart….I will be there.
Sandy,
Words cannot begin to express the sadness I feel for the sudden, unexpected loss of your love and best friend Ralph. Everytime I read this poem it gives me so much peace so I read it often. I hope it will do the same for you. Ralph was a kind and gentle man who will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Sad are the hearts that loved you, sad are the tears that fall.But living our lives without you is the saddest part of all. If tears could build a stairway and love a memory lane. We’d walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.Look around your garden Lord,he won’t be hard to find, he has a face that’s full of love and a hearts tht’s good and kind.Tell him that we love him and when you se him smile put your arms around him Lord and hold him for a while.
Sandra
