Mark (Nephew)Ralph "RF" Furley is the name of a fictional character from the sitcom Three's Company, played by Don Knotts.
Mr. Furley is the landlord of a Santa Monica apartment building that is owned by his brother, Bart, who acquired it from Stanley Roper. It is the home to Jack Tripper, Larry Dallas, Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow (later to Cindy Snow and Terri Alden). Furley fancies himself a "ladies' man" and a "macho man", despite the fact he has not had a date in years.
Ralph is very subservient and seems to fear his brother.
He often wears outlandish leisure suits in very loud colors with ascots. Usually his shirts are very brightly colored. For his role as Mr. Furley, Knotts donned a toupee.
