It is with great sadness that I say good bye to one of the truly fine gentleman of western whiskeyana.
Ralph Van Brocklin passed away this past weekend.
I'd known, and respected Ralph since we first met, forty some years ago.
Ralph was a true gentleman; polite and friendly; and always going the extra mile to treat everyone kindly. He was a wealth of information about the hobby; eager and willing to share that knowledge with anyone who expressed an interest.
Ralph will be missed.
Rest in peace my friend.
One of the great people in bottling collecting, Ralph was everything good about the hobby. It's very sad to hear of his passing. Prayers to all his loved family.
