Ralph grew up in Weslaco, Texas and moved to Lubbock, Texas when he was young. He met his wife Mary there and they married on August 24, 1959. He became a Jehovah’s Witness in 1972 and actively served as an elder and full-time minister. His passion was to help others to learn about Jehovah God and his Son Jesus Christ. He wanted people to learn of a coming earthly paradise. His dynamic and charming personality drew people to him. He never met a stranger and he had a great sense of humor that amused his family and friends. Ralph cherished the privilege of serving as a volunteer in the construction of Kingdom Halls. His favorite hobbies were barbequing and fishing. Ralph also served in the Army and the Air Force before he married. Ralph was a wonderful grandfather, father, husband and a great friend to many.
