Family was at the heart of Ralph's life. He is survived by his beloved wife, JoAnn, who stood by his side throughout their many 55 years together of marriage. Ralph was the proud father of two daughters, Melissa Morgan Ramsey (son-in-law Todd Ramsey) and Melanie Morgan, and a doting grandfather who cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, Parker Morgan, Libby Ramsey and Jackson Ramsey. He took great joy in attending their school and sporting events, often being their loudest cheerleader, as he reveled in their accomplishments and milestones.

 Outside of his family life, Ralph had a passion for golfing and was an avid sports fan. He loved cheering on of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals as well as the Kansas Jayhawks, both of his daughter’s alma mater. Whether perfecting his swing on the golf course or watching his favorite team, he embraced life with enthusiasm and a genuine love for the people around him. 

Ralph's legacy will be remembered through the joy he brought to his family and the indelible impact he made on those fortunate enough to know him. He leaves behind not only a loving family but also a wealth of fond memories and storiesthat will continue to inspire and bring smiles to all who remember him.
