Born on Christmas day this big-hearted soul will be remembered as someone who always made you laugh.
Ralph was a thirteen year lung transplant survivor and a six-year kidney transplant survivor.
He bravely faced his ongoing health challenges with that same sense of humor which got him through the toughest times.
He was hard working his entire life. After receiving the gift of life in 2005 he spent time working part-time and enjoying life with friends and his two pet- pals “Bosie” and “Blue"
Ralph is predeceased by his mother Peggy Louise, his father Charles T. Bassler Sr. and his brother Charles (Chuck) T. Bassler Jr.
He is survived by his brother Wayne and his wife Patty and Elizabeth Fandel and her husband Tom.
He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Kathleen Bassler, Molly, Tommy and Jeremy Fandel and his great niece Rain Bassler.
Ralph will be forever missed and forever in our hearts.
