My father was a very proud man. Proud of his family-proud of his heritage-proud of hard work and proud of his community.

Ralph was proud to be a member of both the Lincoln and Fredericton Lions clubs holding many positions including club president and District Governor. 

Dad and Mom were both proud to be part of Fredericton and gave generously and selflessly to the community organizations which support fellow New Brunswickers via  the Janet and Ralph Humanitarian Fund. 

Dad loved Jesus and was a very proud Christian. Over his lifetime he has found peace through the Lords guidance.
