 In life we’re lucky enough to have one true friend; Ralph had more than he could count. Among the closest were Gary and Julie Lindsey who were Ralph and Marge’s lifelong travel partners. Gary made his final journey a few days prior, and we are comforted to know he was there to welcome Ralph with open arms. Ralph had many other lifelong friends through his community service with the West Corners Lion’s Club. His friends, many of whom have passed on enjoyed his wit and sense of humor and will remember him by his many one-liners. He cherished his time with his monthly Breakfast Club thanks to his buddy and chauffeur Mark Herr. He also loved his dinners with Mark and Jackie Herr, and Jereane Williams.

Ralph was a graduate of Binghamton North High School and Broome Technical Community College where he excelled in Basketball and his team was one of the first in the school’s history to make it to the Final Four. After graduating college, he served in the National Guard. From there he began his career at Endicott Johnson Corporation where he met the love of his life, Margaret. Soon after he continued his career at IBM and was a member of the Quarter Century Club.

Ralph was a lifelong New York Yankees and Giants fan. He loved trips to the casino and Manhattans with Craig. More than anything he loved time with his family especially Sunday Dinners, holidays with his favorite tradition “Santa’s Bag”, and any time he spent with his grandchildren. His grandchildren were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment with them. They gave him immense joy and comfort until his last breath. His granddaughter Chelsea was able to make his wish to live his final days at home possible, which could not have been done without her loving and tireless care. Ralph was “A Person of “Fine Venuity” and never had an unkind word to say about anyone. He was a shining example to us all. At Ralph’s request there will be no calling hours, a celebration of life will happen later, and he will see you all at Sears.

Stephanie (Hohn) Nelson

I, Stephanie (Hohn) Nelson, 74, have entered my permanent nap on Wednesday September 27, 2023. My hope is that my legend of a husband, Donald A. Nelson, Sr., finds the freedom to take care of himself now-without the secondhand smoke that he has put up with for years. Take care of my beloved pup, “Lucky”. Treat with Vienna Sausage. Also, my hope is for my daughter Jessica Flynn, son-in-law Jason Flynn and my precious grandson Aidan, to continue being successful, healthy and happy for years. My stepson, Rick, his wife, Cheryl, granddaughters, Chelsey (Matt Davis), Meaghan (Jeffrey Fresina), and great-granddaughters, Madison and Willow continue to have happy and healthy lives. With gratitude to Rick for his acceptance of me into his Dad’s life, and the wonderful life it was with him. My niece Jennifer Knickerbocker, her family, my deceased nephew Michael York and his family, go my best wishes for the same. Thru this crazy life, I liked everyone I knew – except myself. I allowed myself to be deeply affected by being ignored, insulted, misunderstood, unable to express my intentions clearly, un-accepted, and searching for that one true friend constantly. Don’t allow yourselves to be this way. Life is short. That old saying “reach out and touch someone” should be a motto. It’s the best medicine not in pill form. Go to your final nap with no regrets. I hope I leave somebody a happy memory of me.
