Dad was born in Charlotte NC, a member of Garden Memorial Presbyterian Church and graduated from West Meck. High School, class of 1954. Ralph is preceded in death by his beloved wife Ferne of 51 years and brother John Forbis. He is survived by his children Mike Forbis (Donna) of Mint Hill NC, Judy Price (Sammy) of Mt. Holly NC, and Robert Forbis. Grandchildren Matthew (Jennifer), Brian Price (Jessica), Carisa Elmore, Brad Forbis (Ana), and Steven Forbis (Megan). Great grandchildren – Austin, Mason, Lilly, Tommy, Briana, Samuel, Callie, Dexter, Samantha, Saylor, and Lawson.
Dad modeled fatherhood and commitment to marriage for his family, and now leaves his legacy to continue. We will always remember his gentle spirit and quick wit. Dad enjoyed playing golf with John and his golf buddies. He loved the beach with Mom, sitting on the porch listening to music and working in his shop. We will miss you and see you again in Heaven. Love always, your family.
We would like to thank Hospice of Gastonia and HomeInstead for the excellent care they provided for Dad during his illness.
