Ralph worked for many decades as a Chemical Engineer, and later on as an Ethanol consultant. Ralph enjoyed many hobbies in his life. He liked to go fishing in places like Canada and most recently in Savannah, GA. He was a member of the Mingo Rod and Gun Club where he participated in reloading and target shooting. He enjoyed computers and even owned one of the first models of computers. Reading was very important and Ralph loved e-books on anything from Fantasy, Science Fiction to Cozy Mysteries.
