"Thanks for making our year of fencing in Oxford such a memorable experience. You're a great friend and opponent (you converted me to epee) - I miss the chance we could have had to visit you at the club again."

"Ralph was a most respected and valued colleague on the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. His scholarship and technical abilities made a crucial contribution to the project. His good humour and quiet dignity inspired us all. Ralph, we admired your 'pamper and style'"
