He grew up in Wapello and graduated from Wapello High School in 1947. Ralph enlisted in the Navy and left Wapello on the same day he was to try out for the Iowa Cubs in August of 1947.

Ralph worked various jobs including the Gypson Plant and Ammunition Plant in Burlington. He retired from Monsanto in 1991. Ralph married Dorothy Adkins on January 19, 1990. He spent most of his life in Wapello and enjoyed watching the Iowa Hawkeyes and golfing. He loved the fact that he had left-handed clubs so no one could borrow them and how he had the fastest golf cart at the Indian Hills Golf Club. He was also an avid fisherman and hunter and was even pulling a deer out of the timber at the age of 82 by himself. Ralph had a dry sense of humor that could often get him into trouble if you didn’t know him. He enjoyed spending time at the Bait Shop swapping lies and drinking coffee. Ralph was a great storyteller.
