Ralph was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing. He hunted various animals such as deer, bear, turkey, and pheasants. He went fishing year-round whether it was on a boat or on the ice. Ralph was a true jack of all trades and could fix anything no matter what it was. He enjoyed cheering on the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers. Ralph was a member of the Moose Lodge Club for 58 years and the Wisconsin Buck N' Fin Sports Club, serving as the President for many years. He was passionate about being an instructor for the Hunter's Safety course in Wisconsin. Ralph proudly served his country in the Army as a mechanic. He LOVES the American Flag, so much so that he would put American Flag stickers on much of his items around the house. He deeply believed in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and wore the medal on his t-shirts.
