Title: I lost a friend,
Post by: Texas Ranger on December 15, 2011, 10:53:22 AM
And a client.  Ralph Vertrees was a gentleman with land in east Texas, and Arcadia, California.  He became a client in 1967, and a friend shortly there after.  Over the years I have worked their lands as my own, and they housed my daughter for a time while she was in college in Austin.  I have watched them spin land off to their children, and helped in the process.

Ralph was a petroleum attorney, and at age 84 long retired.

He has been my longest term client, and a friend.

Rest in peace, Ralph.

Their passing leaves an empty spot in our lives and good friends can never be replaced.  My condolences to you and the family.
