Ralph Yeager Obituary

Dear Riff, Dianne, Jon and families ~
I'm so sorry for your loss. Though I only met your dad on a few occasions, each time he struck me as a dapper, sweet and charming man -- with a bit of a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

Please know that I'm thinking about you now and in the days ahead.

Jon and Riff
My family sends their condolences to you and yours. We speak of you often and are ever grateful for having you in our lives and only sorry that our children can't have the same privilege.

Ralph will be missed. I had so much fun listening to his stories at our family dinners. Ralph certainly had a "zest" for life. I'm glad I got to know him. Karen Olsten

Jon and Susan;
We were so sorry to read about the passing of your dear Dad/and father-in-law. We truly understand the greatness of your loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Your friends,
Brad and Nancy Garvey
Appleton, Wisconsin

Riff, Dianne, and family ~
My family sends sympathies on the end of your dad's earthly life. May his creative vocation and charitable avocation accomplishments leave a legacy. May personal memories bring smiles to those who called him Grampa and Dad.
Love,
Phoebe and family

to Peggy class of '46. My heart is with you in your loss. May you know that God is always with us during good times as well as the bad times.

I will always remember Ralph’s joyful and optimistic approach to life, which he sustained until he left us. He gave us the gifts of warmth, good humor and cheer whenever we were in his presence; his positive attitudes were surely contagious.

I am also grateful for the four children that Ralph left behind. He and their Mom, Dorothy, left a wonderful legacy. Peter is my spouse, and the others, along with their spouses, have become my lifelong brothers and sisters. Being a part of this family is very special and comforting, and I will always be grateful to have joined this crew many years back. All of the grandchildren and great grandchildren will surely carry the legacy of humor and good cheer that Papa Ralph/Grandpa Ralph gave to them.

I am certain that when we gather to celebrate Ralph’s life in the fall, we will remember and re-live the many joyful moments that characterized Ralph’s life. I will miss him.
