Ralph was a foreman for Miller-Zeilstra Lumber for 47 years. Ralph was a great listener, a kind soul whose quiet and gentle manner was a constant presence in his family’s life. He never passed up an opportunity to spend time with his loved ones. He is remembered by his family for being able to build anything he set out to, most fondly remembered is the amazing playhouse he built for his grandkids. He loved to be outdoors and fed the birds every day. He loved animals and had some favorites over the years, including his dogs Sonny Pete, Louie, and cats Bob and Mama. His property was a sanctuary for all creatures great and small. His warm smile and sparkling blue eyes will be greatly missed.
