Ralph White Obituary
Ralph was proceeded in death by his parents, Ralph W. White and Dorothy Canter; his sisters, Charity "Dody" Stover and Hope Abner; and many dear friends who surely welcomed him with a microphone on stage.
Ralph was a kind soul - someone who would give the shirt off his back to a stranger without a second thought. His tall tales and unmistakable laugh as he shared dad jokes and sayings, "If I knew I was going to live this long, I would've taken better care of myself." And "It should be called uncommon sense, because if it was common more people would have it."
Music was one of Ralph's greatest joys. Playing the guitar and harmonica and never missing a chance to sing or dance in public-no matter how embarrassing it was for those around.
Ralph is survived by his children: Mark Elliott, Paige Meek, Jordan Gunter, Crystal Uphold, and Wade White. He was a proud grandfather to Spencer and Parker Elliott, Wade, and Nathanial and Daniel White. He is also survived by his brother, Barry Thompson, along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren and many family and friends
