Other survivors include sister Susan Little Adkins (Stephen), nieces Mary Alice Hicks (Grant) and Christine Adkins, nephews Paul Adkins and Seth Teems, brother-in-law Brian Teems, and aunts Emelyn Little Baker, Barbara Hill Little, and Pat Westfall. He is also preceded in death by his in-laws Hubert and Hazel Teems.
Ralph attended Wofford College and was a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. He was the owner and operator of The Printer in Anderson for many years. Ralph was involved in many community activities including Rotary Club, The Lot Project, the Anderson Touchdown Club, Meals on Wheels, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity. He was also a dedicated member, elder, and deacon of Central Presbyterian Church. He loved leading the children's sermon on Sunday mornings.
In addition to his civic and family life, rugby was Ralph's lifelong passion. He played for the Atlantic Renegades during the 1980s and 90s and joined the Greenville Rugby Club when he moved to the Upstate. He played and coached with the Greenville team from 1994 to 2023, helping to mentor younger players. Ralph loved a good scrum and was a tough player who played through injuries.
