Abstract

Ralph had worked for over 20 years building up his tile company into a multimillion-dollar-a-year business, and yet he forever remained a difficult person to work with. Unfortunately for family, employees, and business associates, as he aged he did not mellow but only became more irascible and ornery and was quite willing to give anyone a good verbal lambasting for the most trifling of transgressions. Even his pastor would not be spared his verbal slings and arrows, if they happened to disagree on some noncelestial matter, such as which hymns were to be sung the following Sunday. Ralph loved to sing in the choir and had a very pleasant baritone.
