Ralph served in the Canadian Navy during WWII as a signal man. When the war ended he moved from Moncton to Montreal and joined the TCA family later and now know as Air Canada. He was with the Company at Headquarters as Manager of Flight Operations for 38 years.

When he retired, he and Heather moved to Courtenay and started a busy retirement enjoying golf, fishing and gardening. He organized the Comox Valley Pionairs (Air Canada Retirees) who met once a month, for over 10 years. Ralph put up a valiant fight with cancer and never complained. A big thank you to his friends Judy and Henry Jolley, Bev and William Papp and Dr. W. Crowe.
