Formerly from Lima, Ohio
Ralph is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Heather Cosgrove, Josie Zerbe, grandchildren, Jestin,
Dani, Jacob, Joel, Joey, and Clay, as well as many other relatives and friends.
Ralph worked at the Lima correctional facility for the state of Ohio as a Master carpenter. After retirement, he soon moved to Florida. He was an active RC airplane hobbyist, and an avid motocrosser. Also, a skilled
craftsman, who took after his great grandfather. He installed many roofs over the years, flipped/built
houses, a woodworker, who made cabinetry and much more. He loved all animals, wildlife, birds, dogs,
and cats. He enjoyed nature, and had a passion for being outdoors, whether it be kayaking, boating,
fishing, or bicycling. He also had a very green thumb with the plants. He will be missed dearly.
The family will be holding private services
