Roussel, Ralph:
On Sunday, November 1st, 2020, Ralph went home to be with the Lord and be reunited with his loving wife Shirley.
He passed away at Grand River Hospital at the age of 85 with his beloved daughters by his side.
He was a dedicated Dad to Sharon and her husband Brian Page, and Marilyn Boss.
Proud Boppy to Kelly and Dan Spinks, Vicki and Brad Folliott, Trevor and Laura Boss, Kevin and Nicole Boss. Cherished Great-Boppy to Zachary Folliott, Oliver and Emily Spinks, Rhett and Sheppard Boss.
He was preceded by his parents, John and Ida Roussel, brothers John Jr., Raymond, Henry, Herbert, Donald, Louis, Edward and by sisters, Henrietta, Rose Anne, Alice, Eva and Adrienne.
Left to remember him, his dear brother George and his wife Brenda, sister-in-laws, Lovina and Pauline, Peggy Schaefer, and Betty Hintz, along with many loving nieces and nephews.
Ralph was born and raised in Bridgeport where he built the family home. He was a member of the IBEW for 67 years. He loved to putter in the garage, spend time with his grandchildren and going for drives with Shirley for AW Rootbeer. To his family he will always be remembered as the, kindest, sweetest, most generous man. To his neighbours, he will be remembered as being very friendly and helpful. He lived his life with compassion, dignity and grace.
