Born in Orangedale, he was the son of the late John Y and Cassie MacLean. Ralph was a strong, hardworking man with a wonderful sense of humor. He was a fisherman and a lumberman all of his life and worked for DEVCO Oyster Fisheries for a number of years. His hobbies were fishing, hunting, and playing cards. He was willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it.

Survived also by his daughter Lisa (John) and her children Arthur (Shannon), Jenelle (Angus) and Chelsea (Simon); also son Vincent and his sons Micheal (Kelly) and Kyle (Jackie). He is survived by his great grandchildren Savannah and Mitchell Covin (his cub) and their father Lionel. His great granddaughters Cassie and Maggie MacLean, and Rosie and Emily MacFadyen; his great grandsons, Brodie and Brayden MacLean. He is survived by brother Nelson (Shirley), Little Narrows, Edmund (Doris), Port Hawkesbury, and his most beloved fur babies, Brat and Bow.
