Ralph served his country in the Air Force during the Vietnam War, during which time he earned his Master's Degree in Education Administration from Ohio University. He worked tirelessly in his early years to support Christian education - even lobbying in Washington, D.C. for a year, representing the American Association of Christian Schools. He spent 23 years as the Church Administrator at Bethel Baptist Church in Sellersville, PA where he did anything & everything he could to serve the Lord. He was an avid sports fan and followed the Boston Celtics, Cincinnati Reds, and every team his children ever played for. Ralph's generous spirit was known by all, as was his love for Jesus.
