Ralph was an avid sports enthusiast either watching or participating. After retirement Ralph took up lawn bowling with Jean and attended several national championships as either a player or coach. Ralph enjoyed watching the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Regina Pats and was a season ticket holder for both teams but he enjoyed watching Aleesha’s hockey games the most. Ralph could be seen many times at the rink with his Tim Hortons coffee cheering on Aleesha’s team.
