Ralph Benefield was married to Dorthy Ming in Russell Co., AL on March 11th 1951. They divorced, no children.
He worked at Sunshine Biscuit Company in Columbus, GA. Everyone liked working with him and I've heard it said that they felt like it wasn't work when Ralph was on the job.
He had a good sense of humor and had many friends. I rarely meet one of his old buddies, that I don't hear another funny or interesting situation that my Uncle Ralph was part of.
