Ralph Plaskon Obituary
He graduated from Laurel High School, Laurel, MD and attended the University of MD, College Park, MD. Upon his decision to join the US Air Force, he served with honorable discharge from 1972 to 1976 which ultimately led to his career with the City of Salisbury as Supervisor of Parking. He served the city for 35 years prior to retirement. Ralph was loved by his employees, the lot attendants, and worked tirelessly to keep the City's parking safe, affordable and easily accessible. He also operated Plaskon's Cleaning Service, cleaning local bank branches.
In his early years he established many good relationships bowling in a league at Cherokee Lanes, occasionally traveling to compete in tournaments. He loved to share stories of fishing with his dad, brother, Uncle Jack and Uncle Phil. His love of golf reflected his appreciation for patience, focus, and the outdoors. Ralph's true passion was hunting deer each fall with family and friends.
