I am one of the lucky ones that belonged to the District Heights Theatre of the Arts where I met Lois and Ralph. Throughout many years of musical comedies together I spent endless hours at their household and they always made one feel like a part of their family. My most vivid memory of Ralph was his constant sense of humor and infectious grin. I never saw him angry. and when Lois was by his side he just beamed. The love they shared was so evident, and Lois made the perfect "straight man" to Ralph's hilarious jokes. Not only a great husband, I saw Ralph to be a terrific father to Debbie-( she played Tiger Lily to my Peter Pan, with Lois as director!) Thoughts of Ralph Moore can only bring a smile to my face, and I will never forget his teaching me how important the value is of laughter in one's life.

Dear Debbie,
I remember well your Dad riding his motorcycle all around District Heights and sometimes taking me along for the ride! Lois and Ralph were both so special -- as a couple, and as great friends! I am sorry I didn't attend Ralph's funeral but I didn't know until after he had passed away.
And, I remember you as Tiger Lily when your mother directed "Peter Pan"!
Take care! Mary Ann (Vecellio) Malitz

It is with sadness Linda and I offer our condolences to Debbie, her family and the remaining family member of Noble and Brother Ralph Moore. I will always remember Ralph along with Lois, for his contribution to a young group of thespians many years ago helping to establish The DHTA. I will remember Ralph for his many years of unselfish service to his Blue Lodge, Fire Dept, and Shrine Temple. I will never forget when my father passed away it was Ralph giving me a big hug and saying, "Frank's playing 'Tally Ho' on the post horn in heaven, and EVERYBODY is really celebrating his arrival." Ralph was not only a Lodge Brother, but a True Upright Man and Mason in the highest sense. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten. A true GIANT among men.
Matthew 25:23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' John 11:25 Raising of Lazarus, …24 .Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." 25. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26. and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"…
I hope there is plenty of paved roads in heaven. Ralph and Lois will be riding that motorcycle sure as I'm a saying. Rev it up Ralph.
Ralph and I go back close to 60 years of Brotherhood and Friendship. He is my friend and I will miss him so much. Larry Hogan in Florida.
