Married Sandra Perry, his “Bride” on October 12, 1967. He started his journey with AT&T. Spending the better part of his life working hard before retiring in 2007. He then spent his time pursuing his hobby and love of stump grinding.  If you knew him, you were blessed. Kindhearted and compassionate he was loved by many. Those who went before him are rejoicing in heaven with him today. He loved the Lord, and that is the only consolation that those of us left behind have now.  Ralph is survived by his Bride of 52 years, Sandra (Dorie) Padgett; daughter, Sandra O.
