Always having had a feisty and ornery nature, Ralph bravely fought his many, many ailments until he finally went to be with his Heavenly Lord and Savior on Tuesday morning, April 27, 2010 in Yakima. He married Pansy David in Yuma, AZ (1947), and had two sons, Leon (1948) and Steve (1950). They moved to Yakima where he worked in agriculture. They divorced in 1969. Leon married Kathy Davis and had a daughter, Michelle (1981). Granddaughter Michele Powers lives in Selah, WA with husband, Jason, and great granddaughters, Haille, Hanna and Haven. His youngest son, Steve, retired in the last few years and is a long-time resident of Omak, WA. In 1974 he married Joyce Clark in Yakima, where they continued to live and work. A hard worker who never missed a day of work, Ralph reluctantly retired in 1988 due to failing eyesight. He was an active member of the Summit View Church of Christ (formerly Cornell Ave.) and he thoroughly took delight in eating seafood at Legends Casino and Red Lobster with family and longtime church friends. Always to be found at his side, he loved his three dogs (Angel, Mitzy, and Susie), tending to his garden and lawn, and was a devoted Mariners baseball fan. Fishing was a beloved pastime and he went as often as possible. Up until the last few years of poorer health, Ralph loved to exercise by walking. While his son Leon worked at Perry Tech., one of his great joys was walking down everyday to visit him. Visits from his son Steve were cherished and he appreciated time spent with him. He also valued phone calls and rare trips to see family and friends back in AR. Ralph played a large and active part in raising his grandson Brian McCloud and was a stable and steady father-figure in his life. While Ralph was a man of few words you could hear the pride in his voice when he spoke of his children and other family members' accomplishments. In addition to the family mentioned above, Ralph is survived by his wife of 35 years, Joyce of Yakima, stepchildren, Ron Clark (Sue) of Yakima, Connie McCloud (Alex) of Portland, OR; grandchildren Michael McCloud of Portland; Leann Valks (Tyler) of Snead's Ferry, NC; granddaughter-in-law Natasha McCloud; widowed daughter-in-law Paula Edmondson of Moxee, WA; sisters, Clara Moore, Helen Smith, Ruth Miller, Gladys House, Ruby McMahon, Threasa Ambrose, and numerous nieces and nephews, all of Arkansas. He is preceded in death by two brothers, Speck and Raymond, parents, D.R. and Goldie and most recently, his oldest son, Leon. Ralph was an honest, loyal, uncomplicated man, and most of all a dearly loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, April 30, 2010 at West Hills Memorial Park. Those wishing to attend, please meet at the cemetery. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Keith and Keith Funeral Home.
