Rick Ralston - Gone But Not Forgotten |

|
June 3, 2003 Today, country music is grieving the loss of a great man and a true and loving friend to many, Rick Ralston. Rick was a board member of the Country Legends Association as well as the CLA Gazzette news editor. He took the load off of many shoulders by taking on many different duties in his quest to save traditional country music. He will be greatly missed by President, Frank Dell as Rick was not only his good and trusted friend, he was his right hand man. Rick was also manager to MKOC Official artist, Joe Berry and in partnership with Col. Robert Morris, also of MKOC, and Joe Berry in "Original Urban Legends". Rick had been suffering from complications of diabetes and had spent the better part of 2 months in and out of the hospital. |
We are all suffering from his loss and we thank all of you who prayed for him during the past months. He is with God now and we are left to struggle on without his kindness, laughter, compassion and passion for the music and for all those he loved. I personally will miss my dear friend and my heart goes out to his wife, Lois and Ralston family members and friends. A bell must have rung because I know of one angel in heaven right now getting his wings. You will be sorely missed, my friend, but I know you're in God's keeping now and will never have to suffer again... that is left for those of us who mourn your loss. Marli |
