Ralph worked at Caterpillar for
several years before retiring in 1999. He always
enjoyed spending time with his family, playing
bingo, and was a proud collector of the diecast
Caterpillar implement models (such as dump trucks,
tractors, bulldozers, etc.).
Ralph’s wishes were to be cremated. There will be a
Celebration of Life held at a later date.
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Mt. Pulaski
has been entrusted with arrangements.
