Ralph followed his dream
of being a contractor and es-
tablished “Wheeler’s Home
Repair.” He served the Flor-
ence community, building
decks, docks, buildings,
fences, etc., until he retired
in 2008 at age 77.
In 2010, Ralph fell ill due
to a massive hematoma of
the brain. His struggle lasted
for nine years and he passed
from this life on Feb. 19,

He leaves behind his wife
Pam; his step-son Gil Tur-
turici, Audrey von Gease, six
loving grandchildren, and
three beautiful great-grand-
babies. He also leaves two
nieces in California and
their wonderful families.
Ralph, may you rest in
peace and in the loving arms
of your Lord and Sav-ior Je-
sus Christ.
Amen.

at Spruce Point.
