Ralph BLOMBERG Obituary

Dec. 14, 1929 - Mar. 30, 2016 Ralph Blomberg passed away at his home in Sacramento, California in the company of his loving wife, Suzanne, and his two step-daughters, Stephanie Cooper and Shelley Murphy. He was 86. In addition to his wife, he is survived by two children: a son, Eric Blomberg and a daughter, Keslie Villarreal; three grandchildren and three great-grand-children. He was predeceased by brothers Harold, Donald and Jerome and is survived by brothers Norman and Robert. Ralph was the fourth of what would become six boys born to Alice (Berglund) and Gustaf Blomberg. Ralph and his brothers, Harold and Jerome, took over a family business and transformed it into Blomberg Window Systems, located across from the executive airport. Their ultra high-quality windows and doors soon became the preferred products in custom homes and commercial building designs throughout Northern California and beyond. In 1982, Ralph married Suzanne LaTurner who was the love of his life for the rest of his life, a marriage of more than 34 years. They loved each other's company and celebrated life together, traveling and vacationing, golfing and entertaining in their home with family and friends. A celebration of Ralph's life will be held from 2 pm to 5 pm on Friday, April 8, at the Nepenthe Clubhouse, 1131 Commons Drive in Sacramento. Family and friends are invited to attend.

Memories of getting beaten by you two in tennis. Frank and Sue were the stronger players. Ralph and Carol hung in there! Amazing dinners with homemade strawberry shortcake and lots of whipped cream. Ralph was always the gracious host! Thank you for allowing us into your inner circle!!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Blomberg family. I worked for Blombergs for about 4 years and Ralph was always very sweet and kind man.
