Ralph started out by farming with his dad, Gordon Bean, and after marrying Martha Shantz, moved to 4930 Perth East Road 103 in 1971 and started growing pumpkins, sweet corn, and other vegetables which he sold at the market. Ralph operated M N R Tax Service with Martha and then Sandra, whom he married in 1997, and then retiring in the year 2000. Ralph also had many fond memories of working at Dutch Boy and Master Feeds as well.
Ralph led Wilmot Boys Club for 20 years. He helped with Men’s Breakfast for years at Wilmot Mennonite Church where he was an active member.
Ralph helped run the apple cider tent at the MCC Relief Sale for over 40 years.
With Sandra, Ralph volunteered every Saturday for 3 years at MCC’s Furniture and More thrift store in New Hamburg. Ralph also helped organize the Hidden Acres Handicap Weekend for a number of years and faithfully served every Friday serving drink and snacks for over 11 years at the Ontario Christian Gleaners in Cambridge.
Ralph was also involved in the establishment of the Wellesley Pondview Retirement Community.
Ralph and Sandra enjoyed travelling together. They would tell the children they were going to the end of the driveway and turning right. They enjoyed many trips to the East Coast which included Newfoundland. They also ventured to Australia, Trinidad, Vancouver Island, Florida and many day trips around Ontario. After Ralph’s diagnosis, these trips were relived many times.
During the years Ralph and Sandra owned their cottage in Lakefield—10 minutes north of Peterborough—which was on the Trent Canal system—they enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, biking and walking—and of course, fixing up the cottage! On August 9th, 2013, Ralph and Sandra along with friend Margaret Ondrovcik from Chatham, were instrumental in saving the lives of Bill Vanderklugt and his granddaughter, Mackenzie Clements, age 3, from drowning in the Trent Canal system in Lakefield. For their efforts, they received commendations from the Peterborough Lakefield Police Services Board and the County of Peterborough.
On Ralph’s precious 12 acres, Ralph and Sandra hosted square dances and pig roasts for Wilmot Mennonite youth group, corn roasts for the neighbors, had soccer and hockey teams, and many family functions.
Ralph enjoyed his grandchildren’s sporting events and playing games with them.
For Ralph’s 80th birthday, Sandra bought him a red golf cart which he loved driving around his acreage and watering his newly planted trees. Ralph had to learn to share it with his younger grandchildren who loved to drive it as well.
Ralph was also a collector of vinyl records—5000 to 6000 to be more precise!! He also had a collection of 120 trolls!!
Ralph enjoyed reading the ‘obits’ and reading about people’s lives and so approved his own obituary.
Thank you to Care Partners, especially nurse McKenzie, nurse Amy and nurse practitioner Joanne King.
