In 1946, the Spalding family sold him the farm he had helped work for several years prior. On June 6, 1953, Ralph married Doris Mae Furman, the love of his life.

During their early years together, they enjoyed bowling, barn dances, and dancing at Fourniers Ballroom. After the birth of their sons Keevin and Keith, they also enjoyed their boy’s activities and taking family trips to various parts of the country. Ralph will be remembered as a gentle and quiet man. After retirement, he and Doris delivered Meals on Wheels for over 20 years.
