With love and deep sorrow, we announce the peaceful passing of Francis 'Frank' Gordon Ralph on May 29, 2025, at the age of 93. Born on September 22, 1931, Frank was a devoted family man, a hard-working businessman, and a man of many interests and talents.

Frank was the beloved husband of the late Rachel (Bartlett) Ralph, with whom he shared a full and meaningful life. Frank was the proud father of three children: Judy McDonald (the late Brad), Karen LaFontaine (Marcel), and Robert Ralph (Laura). His legacy continues through his grandchildren: Vanessa, Scott (Tracy), Dwayne (Dawn), Jason (Angelique), and Irene, and in loving memory of James and Casandra. He was also blessed with great-grandchildren: Tyler, Teagan, Austin, Jada, Dalton, Keirrah, Grayson, Everett, and Savana, all of whom brought him great joy and laughter. He was predeceased by his brothers Robert, Donald (and his wife Evelyn), and Stuart Ralph, all of whom held a special place in his heart. He is survived by Stuart’s wife, Doreen.

Frank had a curious spirit and a zest for life. He enjoyed bowling, euchre, camping, ice boating, fishing, and the annual family corn roasts -pastimes that brought him happiness and deepened his connections with loved ones. A skilled and respected businessman, Frank owned and operated Ralph Electronics, a successful TV sales and service business that faithfully served the community for many years. His work was not just a career, but a source of pride and a way to serve others. Frank will be remembered for his gentle nature, unwavering dedication to family, and the values he instilled in those around him. His warmth, wisdom, and sense of humor will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
