Ralph J Chandler

Ralph Jerome Chandler, 85, joined his mother, father and son, Scott in

heaven. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on April 5, 1925, he leaves

behind his loving family including Rita (nee Jasicki), his loving wife

of 61 years, son Randy, foster children Dana (Jay) Russell, Michael

(Sue) Miezio, granddaughter Nicole Russell, grandson Michael Meier,

sisters Dorothy Kunicki, LaVerne Coyer, Betty Henry and many nieces and

nephews.

Ralph was a proud Marine who not only served in the Pacific during WWII

but received a commendation for his bravery on Guadalcanal. After the

war Ralph was employed for 43-1/2 years with the Allen Bradley Co. He

retired in 1990. In 1994 Ralph and Rita moved to Sun City West, Arizona

to take advantage of the sun, warm weather and other retirement

activities. Ralph was an avid bowler, a champion miniature golfer and

he loved polka music.

Ralph’s final resting place will be Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee,

Wisconsin.
