He was a lovely man and very kind to me on CMG and on Facebook too for that matter. Up to a few weeks ago he was still urging me to listen to Dittersdorf. May he Rest in Peace.Those of you who participate on ClassicalMusicGuide will know of Ralph Stein, a Professor of Constitutional Law at Pace University, who was formerly a frequent participant there. Upon visiting my facebook page, I saw an update indicating that he has died. Ralph had been hospitalized since February, due to complications of diabetes, and recently had expressed optimism about finishing physical rehabilitation and returning to teaching. No details on the immediate cause of death are available.
In any case, I never met him in person, but Ralph was a great soul who made a strong impact on the lives of those who knew him.
