Passed after a long illness at his home in Atkinson, New Hampshire on December 27, 2021. He was 91 years of age.
Ralph was born and raised in Chelsea. The family came to live in Revere, and he was a graduate of Revere High School, Class of 1948. He joined the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict and served for 2 years, having been discharged in December of 1952. Ralph had an intense interest in airplanes and all that made them perform. He was an alumnus of the former New England Aircraft and Engineering school. He worked as a Flight Engineer with American Airlines for 45 years, retiring in 2000. Ralph truly loved his chosen field of work and anxiously would work much overtime simply for the fact of the joy he received while performing. In 1977, Ralph and his wife decided to leave Revere and to enjoy their New Hampshire home permanently. Soon, the entire family followed. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Dorothy M. (Voss) Menier on January 14, 2009.
