Ralph owned and operated Ralph's Radiator Shop for over 40 years. He was a jokester and he never met a stranger. He would happily spend his time with the ones he loved, reflecting on days past. Ralph met his beloved Faye in 2010, cutting a rug on the dance floor. One look and he knew it was love at first sight. He would spend the next months courting her, and on the joyful day of August 8, 2010 he made her his wife. Ralph took pride in the appearance of his home, even in the days of pain he would still be working in his yard that he took so much pride in.
