Help my family put my Papa to rest

Donation protected
On the 29th of January my Papa was admitted into the hospital. He was dehydrated, had a high heart rate and blood pressure, along with built up plaque in his veins, and a blood clot that was in his lungs. Within less than 24 hours he took a turn for the worst and had a heart attack early in the morning of January 30th. Despite the doctors doing everything they could, my Papa, Ralph Wilcox passed away that morning.

My grandparents, Uncle, and cousins recently just moved this past month from New Hampshire, where they were born and raised, to retire in their first ever home in Florida that my Papa was able to secure for them. Unfortunately, he was not able to enjoy his forever home. With this GoFundMe, all donations will go towards the costs of travel for my Nana to bring my Papa back home and putting him to rest.

On behalf of the entire Wilcox family, we thank you for the love, prayers, and support through this incredibly difficult time. The passing of Ralph has without a doubt broken a lot of people's hearts. If you knew Ralph, you knew that he was the kind of person that could always make you smile and laugh. He loved spending time with his family, seeing friends at Applebee's for "Thirsty Thursday", or going up to Laconia. He might have made some smart-ass comments here and there, but his company was a blessing to have. He was an amazing husband, father, brother, uncle, and grandparent. He is truly going to be missed.
