Mourned and adored by wife Wendy, daughter Julie, grandson Kevin and Steve and Tamara Footman. Born in Pontardawe, South Wales, he met and married Wendy in his hometown. They immigrated to Canada in 1956 and made their way West to settle in Pemberton Heights for the past 60 years. Ralph was a creative and talented builder. His construction company built and renovated many schools and homes on the North Shore. He retired young and started a new passion for designing and building aluminum yachts. He liked to share his knowledge and experience of building with anyone who showed an interest. He never stopped creating and recycling new products. All through their 62 year marriage, traveling to exotic places and meeting new people, kept them young. Thank you, to the compassionate staff at Lions Gate Hospital and Evergreen and Dr. P. Hayton. A Memorial service will be held at the Boal Chapel, North Vancouver, on Friday, April 21 at 1 pm.
Arrangements under the direction of First Memorial Funeral Services, North Vancouver, BC.
