Ralph DeVore Obituary
Ralph had a very full, beautiful life. Being a crop duster and traveling the world as a turbine blader for Westinghouse.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating and car rides. He lived in many areas but always returned to his roots around the Lake Erie island area.
He is survived by his daughters Diane (Harold) Queen, Tina (Glenn) McLaughlin, 3 grandsons, Joe (Jill), Brian (Kim), and Dan (Julia) Tracey, 5 great-grandchildren and ex-wife Audrey Arters.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Julia DeVore; son Bob DeVore, and siblings, Howard DeVore, Mary Ann Market and Jack Devore.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
