Ralph proudly served in the US Army.  He worked for Western Electric for eleven years then, went on to work for R.J. Reynolds retiring with thirty years of dedicated service. Ralph devoutly attended Arrington Heights Free Will Baptist Church. Among his many interests were gospel and country music, basketball, dancing and croquet.
