At the early age of 13 he confessed his Lord and united with the Walnut Creek Mennonite Church of which he remained a faithful member until his Master called him to his eternal hope. On April 24, 1937, he was united in marriage to Thelma Richards, living in the state of matrimony for over 6 years. To this union were born 2 children: Gary Wade and Sandra Lee. Gary Wade preceded him in death, having been accidentally killed on April 29, 1943. In addition to his daughter, he leaves a faithful, sorrowing, but resigned wife, a father and mother (Mrs and Mrs Otis Sundheimer), 2 sisters (Mrs Joy Mast, of near Berlin, and Barbara, at home), 2 brothers (Wyman, working at the State Mental Hospital at Howard, RI, and Clyde, at home), his grandfather (Daniel W Hershberger), and a large host of relatives and friends to mourn his departure. He lived his entire life in the vicinity of Walnut Creek and took a very active part in the various activities of the community. He gave a large part of his life in the instruction of youth, teaching in the public schools of Walnut Creek Township for 12 years. During the latter part of the school year 1941-42, he was informed by the medical authorities that the dreaded disease of tuberculosis had made its inroads into his body and from that time on until his death, he, his wife, and friends did all that was possible to regain his health, first being located at the Molly Stark Sanitarium, but for the last 8 months being at home. At the time of his death, he was taking treatments in Canton when he was suddenly and unexpectedly called home by his Maker, to whose will he and his wife were resigned. They were temporarily staying at the home of Mr and Mrs Christian King, who kindly allowed them the use of several rooms in their home, and did everything possible to speed his recovery. Within the last year he did extensive Bible reading, repeatedly stating that through his sickness, he became familiar with many previous truths and promises of the Bible and claiming them for himself. He started selling Bibles, religious literature, mottoes, etc, during the last months of his life, being deeply interested in it, and many people have treasured memories of Ralph in this way. Funeral services were conducted at the Walnut Creek Mennonite Church, June 6. Paul R Miller, Alvin Miller, and Venus Hershberger were in charge. All that we loved in him - all this shall last, Though from our dull earthly sense he has passed; He has put off the armor of strife, Faithful to death, God has crowned him with life; Purified, glorified, fit for the sky, All that we loved in him, never can die. Gospel Herald Vol XXXVI, No 12 17 June 1943
