In Memory of Ralph Littlefield

[Garry Bopp]

Ralph (DeRalph, and later, FlaRalph screen name) was one of the earliest coupe builders and was a dedicated builder & craftsman. I am honored to have known Ralph and to have been his friend. There are many FFR builders that have benefited from his sage advice and knowledge. Here are a few pics of his beautiful #98 coupe. The last picture shows Debbie Littlefield, holding the award for "Best Coupe" at the 2010 Turkey Rod Run. My coupe proudly wears the #98 on the rear number panel, in memory of Ralph.

Just adding a few pics from a "build party" on Ralph's coupe:

That's RussF in the background on the first pic ... can you spot the creative use of duct tape in the last pic?

Hello to all of Ralph Littlefield's gearhead friends on the forum. A year will have past this coming Friday May 6th. with leaving us behind to continue his eternal burn outs in heaven. Thank you to all who keep him in your hearts, I know he is watching your progress here with your FF5 dream cars. I know he loved you all, sincerely, his wife Debbie.

Hi Debbie,

All of us keep Ralph close in our hearts, and while his beautiful Coupe may be out here in the West now, we're glad you keep touch with us here on the Forum...I remember making my first post on the Coupe Forum, and Ralph was among the first folks to send along encouragement for our efforts. He was a great supporter of this community, and you will always have a home here....I hope everyone takes their Coupes out for a ride this weekend in Ralph's honor....Warmest regards...Karen
