Last time I heard anything about Ralf was around 10 years ago or so.
I heard he was not doing to well do to some serious health issues due to diabetes complications.
Years ago like mid 70's we used to go to Fort Worth to gamble with those guys, there was a 24 hour bowling alley named Meadow Brook Bowling Alley that was the after hours action spot in Fort Worth.

Fat Ralf Cortez & Bird Frank Thompson were two of the top guys we got action with.
Both of those guys had a very different unique playing style, anybody that saw them play knows what I am talking about lol
Both those guys back then could really play.

What is the race to in the one hole?
Edit, I see it was race to 5 in the score bracket.

Cool. Thanks. Last time i saw Ralph was at the BCA Nationals in Ft.Worth. He was woofing at a Brit snooker player that Bob Meucci brought over to play. RC, always the epitome of class, basically shamed this guy into playing. If the dude knew how to break he would have won. Funny as hell to sweat.

Ralf was a real talker kind of guy lol

He had real herky jerky irregular stroke, but he could gin it pretty sporty especially on the bar box.
