Ralph E. Weber (from Focus on Floradale), February, 2007
Ralph Weber came into this world on May 20, 1928. He was the youngest son of Allen and Laura Weber and little brother to Vernon, Sylvia and Gordon. At the age of twelve, his family lost their home and most of their belongings in a fire. Ralph lived all his life on the farm of his father and his grandfather. It has been in the family for well over 100 years.On September 6, 1952, Dad married our mother, Alice Habermehl. Together they had seven children, Roger, Yvonne, Ross, Steve, Darrell, Darcy and Gary.
Our family was not one to travel or vacation a lot. We would go for a Sunday afternoon hike to the bush or a drive around the countryside, stopping to see friends or aunts and uncles. Sometimes Mom would pack a picnic lunch and we would go to a park for the afternoon until too soon it was time for chores. Farming was a big part of Dad's life until the day he had his stroke. In the past he was active in the community, serving on various committees and boards. Dad also loved his church where he served on several boards including the Elders, cemetery board, Sunday School Superintendent and others.He also taught adult Sunday School for many years. We all remember the times we spent sitting around the kitchen table, playing games. We also remember the ball diamond in the orchard where many an evening was spent after chores were done.
Dad also loved his apple orchard, pruning trees every spring and picking apples in the fall. He was even trying to reach that last apple at the end of the branch on the first night while he lay in the hospital bed. After Thanksgiving dinner it was tradition to pick up juice apples. (Wow! It was hard to bend down.)
In 1967 Aunt Doris and Uncle Bill and their family moved to Hearst, Ontario, and because some ofus were old enough to look after things at home, it gave our family a reason to do more travelling. In the north Dad learned to love fishing and rarely did they come back without a picture of a big string of fish.In the last several years he also joined a group of guys for annual fishing trips to the French River.As time went on, one by one his children were all married and started families of their own. As the grandchildren came along, Dad always had time to play games with had time to play games with them or just hold them while he read the paper, a book, or his Bible or maybe had a little snooze. Eventually we started an annual family camping weekend. Dad was not a camper, but he and Mom always came out on the Sunday to spend memorable times with t the family. His grandchildren will not forget Grandpa playing baseball with us, just a few short years ago.On November 7, 2006, at 12:20 a.m. the Lord took Dad home to be with him.
