Hello Friends,
It is with profound sadness that I notify you of Ralph Stream's (Gainesville Rose Society President) passing last night [March 3rd, 2026] about 10:50pm at Shands Trauma ICU in Gainesville. Most of you know that he went to Shands on February 2nd with pain and complications from his 2011 pancreatic cancer surgery. After a fight for his life and two major operations, his body had had enough. Yesterday he knew he would not recover and he said he was ready to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Lord took him peacefully.
I want to thank each of you for your love and prayers and especially your friendship toward him in this lifetime. Your friendship has been a blessing to him and will continue to be for me in the days ahead. He will be cremated and a memorial service will be held at some point in the future.
Please keep me and our family in your prayers for now.
Thank you so much.Love,
Jean Stream and our Family
