Ralph was our loveable rouge, we had great times and lots of laughs at the Tai Tapu until the wee hours of the mornings he was a beautiful dancer.
Ralph was always there to help us when we needed a helping hand in our younger year´s and we are truly grateful.

My sincere condolences for this sad loss for the Ogg family.
Ralph worked willingly, generously and tirelessly for the Tai Tapu community. The Tai Tapu Playcentre is indebted to him for his incredible support with our rebuild in 2017/2018. His contribution allowed our limited funds to go much further and provide a valuable resource for young families in the area to enjoy and thrive.
Thank you for all you gave the community Ralph. You will be sorely missed.

Thank you Ralph for you ongoing and very generous support of Tai Tapu School! Tai Tapu School has an amazing school hall because you put your efforts behind the build! You have also supported our school on a yearly basis by maintaining the large hedge at the end of the school grounds. What did this mean to our school? It meant those savings could go into student learning and resources! Thank you so much for your years of support!

Kia ora whanau
Ralph was a very special person to Tai Tapu School through his ongoing support of the Tai Tapu School Community. He supported our school in a number of very important ways! Ralph, through his special connections was able to support the school in fundraising for the school hall/multipurpose building. This building is the heart of our school and allows for a range of creative performance arts experiences for all our students. Ralph also, every year, helped the school out, by having our very large hedge trimmed. Why was this important to our school? His work enabled our school to put those savings toward learning and resources. Thank you Ralph!

Ralph will be missed by our students, staff and community. We all thank him for his amazing support of Tai Tapu School

We send our sincere sympathy to you, Carolyn, and to all yours and Ralph´s close and extended families. His loss is such a shock to everyone who has known and been fond of Ralph for so many years. He was always larger than life, ready with a wave and a yarn and full of stories. He will be so sadly missed and Tai Tapu will never be the same without him. He really was woven into the fabric of the district. Rest In Peace, Ralph.
