Older former Skidaddler, Ralph Baum, died on August 26th after waging an unsuccessful battle against lung cancer. Ralph was a Skidaddler in the '80's and '90's. After Ralph retired, he and his wife Ceil moved to Florida, where he lived the remainder of his life. He had just turned 76 when he passed away. Ralph is survived by his wife Ceil, his daughter Lauren, and his son-in-law Dave Blyth, all of whom were also Skidaddlers.

Lauren & Karen (Ralph's other daughter) would appreciate any photos or memories anyone would like to share. 

There will be a memorial for friends to remember Ralph at the Brick Café in Lynbrook on the 27th of September from 2:00-5:00 PM.
