My name is Russell Huff, I am the grandson of Billy Huff. Ralph Braswell, better known to me as uncle Ralph was a very sweet and giving man. He taught me a lot about life, the game of pool, and just how to be a better person. I didn't get to see much of him after I grew up. He will be severly missed. Love you Uncle Ralph. You and pawpaw don't corrupt heaven.
