Ralph Terry was a lifelong resident of the West Side part of Kansas City where the older generation knew him as Coach Ralph. Coach Ralph stuck with him because he loved coaching boys and girls T-Ball and Baseball for the neighborhood gym at Sacred Heart. Ralph worked at Brinkman as a flashlight manufacturer before working at Stuart Hall as a paper cutter.

Ralph Terry was a man who let his presence be known upon entering a room with a smile on his face. He was never a quiet man, he was always interactive whether you were a friend he hadn’t seen in forever or a family member who came into town, he always had his door open for them. He will forever be remembered for his loving personality and his saying, “Take care of your Family, Family is always First”- Ralph Terry Ojeda Fond memories and condolences may be shared at www.mcgilleymidtownchapel.com
