He then worked as an engineer at Kenai Packers on the fishing boats and was a merchant marine. Ralph enjoyed warm weather and traveling around, visiting friends and family. He lived mostly in Arizona and Florida in his later years. He was charismatic, intelligent and stoic; strict and stern, yet caring and generous; brutally honest and outspoken; respected by all.
