s/o Oscar and Yvette (Prince) Beaudoin; h/o Elaine (McIntyre) Beaudoin and the late Cynthia (Dupont) Beaudoin

Ralph was formerly of Manchester, N.H., San Jose, Calif., and Rockville, Md., was a graduate of the University of New Hampshire receiving a BS in mechanical engineering and an MBA in finance.

In his youth, he was committed to mentoring young men through his work with the Boy Scouts of America, Camp Carpenter in Manchester, N.H., and the Manchester Boys and Girls Club. As a retired Vice President for Finance and Treasurer at Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, Calif., and DePaul University in Chicago, he used his financial expertise to work with Catholic Charities of Chicago as a volunteer helping older adults in need of financial advice.

He delighted in traveling the U.S., especially the national parks, and throughout Europe. Early in his life, Ralph was a private pilot which allowed him to enjoy many places on the East Coast and Canada. He enjoyed learning new things, encouraging his son to play sports and doing everything he could day in and day out to be his son's North Star. His gift for woodworking, which he enjoyed most of his life, allowed him to create lovely small pieces of furniture and beautiful jewelry boxes. An avid genealogist, he researched his family history back to the 1600s, spending many hours reading through microfilms in Salt Lake City and culling the Internet. The results of his genealogy efforts can be found at www.beaudoingenealogy.com. Much like everything he did in his life, he succeeded at everything he put his mind to.

Ralph served on many boards and councils including School, College, University Underwriters, Limited (SCUUL), United Educators, National Association of College and University Business Officers, United Way of Santa Clara County, Chamber of Commerce of Santa Clara and the Computer Assisted Genealogy Group - Northern Illinois (CAGGNI) where he was membership chair, treasurer and program speaker.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son and two granddaughters.

Interment, Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery, Hillside, IL.
