Ralph was strong, hard-working, kind, funny, a role model and so loved by everyone he met. Ralph spent 29 loving years working at the Gund Company LLC where he retired in November of 2023.

In Ralph’s free time, he enjoyed fishing, camping, spending time with his loved ones, feeding his furbabies Coco and Princess table scraps and treats, as well as sitting on the porch drinking coffee, and watching the hummingbirds while the dogs play in the yard. Ralph was known for his dedication, hard- working mindset, gentle compassion and his endless patience filled his days, thus making him a role model to many.
