Ralph William Ford, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother has fought the good fight, he has finished his course, and he kept the faith and won the race on April 29, 2018.

Ralph was born on June 11, 1957 and was preceded in death by his daughter, Angelique, mother, Geraldine Bowers, father-in-law, Roy D. Henry and two sisters, Janet Lassan and Molly Bowers.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 41 years, Peggy Jo Henry Ford, mother-in-law Barbara Henry, his two sons and daughters Roy and Rebecca Ford, and Shaun and Natasha Ford, sister Mary and David Huntington, brother William and Kathy Bowers.

His pride and joy were his grandchildren Chyanne, whom he named, Zachary, Josie, and Logan. Each one held a place in his heart that was irreplaceable.

Ralph was a proud union member of Local 495 where he served as sergeant-at-arms and on different committees. He was a long time member of Weems Community Chapel. His favorite thing to do was spend time with his family. He loved having all 4 grandkids spend the weekend with him and then taking them to the DQ.

Friends will be received on Wednesday from 2-4 and 6-8 PM at the Everhart-Bove Funeral Home, 685 Canton Rd., Wintersville where funeral services will be held on Thursday at 12 Noon with his son, Pastor Shaun Ford officiating.
