Throughout his life, Ralph Abele led, inspired, encouraged, motivated, supported and commanded the fight to save our natural environment.  He believed strong in the right of everyone to “clean air, pure water and the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and aesthetic values of the environment.”

As an uncommon leader of the Commonwealth and a champion for living creatures, his motto was “Do Your Duty And Fear No One!”
