    Ralph Davis was my mentor and friend. He hired me as an inexperienced, unfocused, kid to work at Lehman Brothers and taught me how to believe in myself and reach for the stars. He has been the single most influential person in my adult life. He influenced my sons, for which I am eternally grateful.

    I tell stories based on Ralph’s teachings to my own marketing people on a biweekly basis. I wish I could communicate with them and motivate them as effectively as Ralph could. He will live on. I miss him.

    I am deeply saddened by the final loss of my good friend and partner in so many of my memories. Ralph was comic relief in a crazy world we live in and I could always count on him to pick my spirits up even though he was fighting his own battle of life. Colby roommate, friend, respected business peer and all around great guy…he will be missed.
