Along with his wife of nearly 58 years, Ralph is also
survived by his children: Rick (Kim), Krista Hall and Susan (Barrie)
Hall, all of Jemseg, NB; his siblings: Bill (Mary Jean) of Saint John,
NB., Marion Jackson of Cambridge, ON, Helen (Bob Charles) Norwood of

predeceased by his brothers: Arnold (Barb) and John (Marie) and by his
brother-in-law Charlie Jackson.
Ralph spent most of his career as a welder working for York
Steel and with the Plumber & Pipefitter Union, Local
325. He was active in sports, especially hockey and was a
true Toronto Maple Leaf fan and Blue Jay fan. He enjoyed his
family gatherings at the Norwood farm house, when family was home on
vacation. Ralph loved the outdoors. In his retirement years he spent
time in his vegetable garden, working on projects in his shed whether
it be a welding project or tinkering on the old elan(snowmobile),
snowshoeing, skiing and very seldom missed his daily walk.
Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great
grandchildren, fishing, skating, building rinks, and throwing the ball
around.
