worked as an engineer with the Southern Pacific Railroad until his retirement 
in 1978.

Ralph and his wife, Myrta were always active. They spent many wonderful years 
together traveling across the United States with their family and friends.

favorite destinations. Ralph and Myrta had many, many friends and enjoyed
