In Memory of Ralph Thompson
Ralph Thompson, 68, founder and Chairman of Holocene Clean Energy, passed away on January 19th after an eight-year battle with colon cancer. His faith, optimism, and vision for renewable energy guided the company from its founding in 2008 through its transition from solar thermal design to utility-scale photovoltaic systems.
Ralph was intent that Holocene be positioned for long-term success in an ever-evolving business environment. He drew people to him with grace, calm, and insightfulness. We have been privileged to have known, worked with, and learned from him.
