Ralph will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. His kind soul and gentle heart was loved by all. He was a man of few words, never hesitated to lend a hand and always quick with a grin. He loved playing golf and watching any kind of sport on TV. He was a well known pillar in the Hixon community where he drank coffee with the men at the take out or played cards at the firehall. It was a very rare Sunday that he wasn’t in his seat at the Lighthouse Community Church. In recent years he took his role of super fan very seriously while watching all his great grandkids play various sports. He always had a twinkle in his eye and loved to finish dinner with a little something sweet.
A celebration of life will be held at Hixon Community Hall on March 15, 2025 at 2 pm.
