Ralph wanted to serve his country in the US Navy so much that he graduated high school early. He loved doing various crafts, taking long walks and reading. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, going to meetings at the DAV and volunteered often. He also enjoyed anything that had to do with his Mustang.
