Yes, judy I just found out last night that our neighbor died a couple days ago. Please accept my condolences too! Wow, your step-dad sounds like he stayed active until the end, but that's a good thing. Hold onto the memories, with him, & watch our for mom now! Us women still into church activities & things which is also a good thing! Then we're already plugged in, to activities, but with guys its different for the most part!

He was from Pittsburgh originally, and moved to South Florida I guess in the 50s; not sure. Anyone ever hear of Wolf Family Dairy Farm around the Pittsburgh, PA area? He still had one of their original milk bottles and a few other items. Eventually he worked for McArthur Jersey Farm Dairy until he retired. Ralph worked for the Cherry City Volunteer Fire Dept. and was made an honorary member in 1951. He was a WWII veteran with a purple heart, and also in Knights of Columbus. Until a few months ago, he was quite active, playing several sports ever week, and even winning bowling tournaments. He still had a PA Dutch accent to a certain extent. Mom is doing okay. They were such a cute couple. One major difference in his and my mom's childhood was that Ralph's family never had books, nor read for pleasure. Mom, on the other hand, loved to read. Any time she was assigned a school book to read for school, my grandma would read it first to make sure it was fit to read! That cracks me up. I think Grandma just wanted an excuse to read something "worldly" without interference from Papa.
