Juhl, 94, of Waverly, Iowa, died on October 11, 2013 at Bartels Skilled Care and Rehabilitation Center. Ralph was born on April 12, 1919, in rural Plainfield in Bremer County, Iowa, the son of Anker P. and Olive M. (Wilson) Juhl. He was baptized and confirmed in Plainfield Methodist Church, transferring to Trinity United Methodist Church in 1959. He graduated from Waverly High School in 1937. Ralph helped his father on the family farm before entering the U.S. Army on January 15, 1941. Ralph served with the second and fourth Armored Infantry Battalion during WWII under the command of General Patton. He was wounded in action and transferred from a hospital in Europe back to the United States. Ralph was honorably discharged on September 21, 1945, and was awarded the Purple Heart, Combat Infantry Badge, American Defense Service Medal and The European-African-Middle Eastern Service Medal. Ralph and Lavon R. (Ormston) were acquaintances before the war, and once Ralph returned home the couple started dating. On June 9, 1946, they were married at the Evangelical Church in Waverly. The couple made their home in Waverly. In December 1949 Ralph and his brother-in-law, Merwyn Whitney, started the Whitney-Juhl Ford Tractor Company, which operated until 1977. From 1968-1988, Ralph served on the Bremer County Board of Supervisors. In 1987, Ralph began working with McKee Realtors in Waverly until retiring in 2007.

Ralph was a past State Commander of the Iowa AMVETS, past President of Iowa Association of Counties and past President of the Waverly Chamber of Commerce and a member of Rotary for many years. He enjoyed traveling, fishing, working and making lists of "projects" to keep his six children and their spouses busy. Driving to and from coffee twice a day with coffee buddies kept Ralph "occupied and busy" in the years since retirement, as did giving driving tours of his beloved town of Waverly.
