Ralph was born November 3, 1914 in Putnam County to the late Lewis and Sarah (Shank) Strite.

Ralph married Katheryn Ziegler on March 12, 1939 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Deshler, OH and she survives. They lived on their farm in Marion Township for 55 years.
Ralph was a farmer for most of his life. He worked at Cooper Tire and Rubber as a mill worker until his retirement in 1979.
Ralph was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Findlay where he had served on the Church Council, and was an avid member of the Lutheran Dartball League for many years.
After his retirement he continued to enjoy gardening. He would occasionally travel with his wife - as long as it did not interfere with his gardening!
