Ralph built two homes for his family. He loved fishing, working in his garden, traveling and wood working. From his workshop he made anything from large cabinets to totem poles to jewelry boxes for his grandchildren.

Ralph loved his family. He was happiest when the house was filled with grandchildren. He was a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He is truly missed.
