Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I did not know Ralph or any member of his family. My only connection to him is our last name of “Hinds”.
I came through K.C. Returning to Harrisburg PA during a short vacation. Being a retired police officer myself I always check local posts to learn about local departments. I did that today and I learned about Ralph.
I keep having a bible passage go thru my mind “No man has greater love than to lay down his life for another” since I learned of Ralph.
I wish the lord’s peace and love for Ralph and all his family members.

Ralph was my great uncle. Although I never knew him, his death changed so many family members lives.

He was a wonderful uncle to my six of my great aunts. He loved them so much.

His sister loss her husband leaving her to raise my aunts. She ended up in a mental institution for the rest of her life.

If Ralph had been alive, he would have been their care taker.

The two oldest nieces were 15 and 14 and went to live on the streets working wherever they could to survive.

Three went to a Catholic orphanage and one of them went with an uncle, not the nicest man, he wouldn't take the rest of them.

My aunts and grandmother were left with no family to take care of them. Uncle Ralph's death changed their lives forever and it was felt and is still felt today.

I didn't know him, but yet I do know him very well.
