Otis Bailey wrote a sympathy message

“SSG Ratcliff (Rat) was a wonderful and caring person. There was no subject that he couldn't offer you some advice on and if he didn't know, he knew someone down by the house that did. We often exchanged work stories whether it was driving trucks or working in the prison system. I will miss my friend but I will never forget him. So, on behalf of the saxophone section of the 41st Army Band for which he served and my family, we extended our heartfelt condolences. SFC (Ret) Otis J. Bailey.”
