RALPH SMALLEY With his family at his side, Ralph passed away on Tuesday, March 6, 2007, just a few days short of his 83rd birthday at River East Personal Care Home. We would like to share with you a brief glimpse of an incredible man. A husband, father and friend. A life well lived. Ralph leaves to mourn his wife of 56 years Dorothy and his son Harry (Janice) and daughter Linda (Mike), and he will be greatly missed by his six grandkids and new great-grandson. Ralph was born in Regina, SK and lived in Simpson, SK as a child. He was a veteran in the war serving in the medical corps. He was successfully in business for over 50 years as owner of Smalley Agencies. Ralph loved to travel with Dorothy, curling, tennis, swimming in his pool and walking his dogs. He enjoyed entertaining and times spent with family and friends. Ralph's legacy is the impact he had on others in his life and the ripple effect of that impact. Remember him with a smile, reflect on memories of the happy years, recall to mind the way he spoke and all the things he did and said. So Much of him never dies, but lives on ever after A celebration of Ralph's life will be held at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4475 Main St. on Monday, March 12, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.
