It is almost 7 years since that tragic day on 9/11/01 and not a day has passed thinking of Ralph. His smile, his voice, his hugs and his companionship is dearly been missed by us.
So often we ask ourselves; where would he be today if 9/11 did not occur? But that answer will never come.
What we do know that the most generous donations in his memory have helped virtually hundreds of young people with their educational and self esteem challenges.
Today, students at the Don Mills Collegiate and at Junior Achievements will receive financial support from these funds for another 3 years to come.
At these annual moments, past and future, we like to reflect on Ralph’s life and his vision for a better world, his endless optimism, his humor, his love for anything living without discrimination against race or religion.
To the world, Ralph Gerhardt was one of the 2758 WTC victims.
To us, he was the world!
Thank you for visiting Ralph’s website.
