"He was a very sociable man, everybody knew him," Debbie said. "You knew if you went into town with him, it couldn't just be a flying visit because everyone and his dog would stop him. "Because he was one of about six men in the class, he was the biggest flirt on the planet - he would flirt with anybody and he just loved it. He loved the attention. Even the lady that runs the class, called Marissa, she would always call him 'Ralphy Baby', that was her nickname for him. Just everywhere he went, he would light up a room.
Debbie explained: "I think towards the end, it was a relief that he was out of pain and out of suffering. It was distressing to see him.
