Ralph attended a one-room school in Romine up to the eighth grade, until he started helping on the farm with his dad. He worked at Siegler in Centralia, in construction building homes, and as a farmer. He was a Laborer with Local 1197 for 30 years until his retirement at 62. Ralph loved to hunt deer, turkey, coons, and coyotes and enjoyed fishing. He enjoyed the time he spent outdoors.
