Jon was the CEO of Bay World Manufacturing, a company that he was proud to help build from the ground up. His work ethic was unparalleled; devoted to maximizing each and every day. He could do anything he set his mind to, and solve any problem that came his way. Dubbed “Mr. Vacay,” Jon loved spending time with his family in a variety of different places. In his free time, he loved skiing with his buddies whether on a slope or a river. Most importantly, he was a family man and cherished each second with them. Jon’s greatest joy was providing for and spending time with his girls.
He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Audrey (Gentille) Ralph; his daughters, Jenny (Paul) Racer, Alana (Sam) Tunnacliffe and Kayli (Jon) Partee; his mother, Jane Ralph; his grandchildren, Ryan Racer, Alyssa Racer, Meredith Tunnacliffe, and a grandchild due in July; his brother Jay (Sue) Ralph and their children, Jessica (Jared) Oing and Michael (Jackie) Ralph. Jon is preceded in death by his father.
