It saddens me to inform everyone of the tragic loss of our friend Ralph Bell. He apparently lost control of his vehicle while driving yesterday. Details are not yet clear on the cause.

 

Ralph was a fixture in the Nihonto community for many many years. He tirelessly committed himself to the Northern California Japanese Sword Club and the San Francisco show, the NBTHK American Branch, and other organizations through generous extension of his time and study matter. He always brought fun and laughter to the shows with some of his antics, such as the infamous "screaming rubber chicken". Shows will not be the same without him.

 

The family has requested that contact and condolenscences be directed to Fred Weissberg while they mourn Ralph's passing and tend to family matters.
