A native of Monticello, Mississippi, Ralph was born to Mississippi natives Marcus and Ollie (Carr) Bozemen on September 14, 1930.
Ralph left home at the age of 16 and headed west and after a number of odd jobs he ended up in the Northeastern California community of Quincy working for the railroad. It is here he was introduced to a pretty young lady named Joyce Herndon and as their love for one another blossomed the couple was joined in matrimony in Reno, Nevada on November 27, 1954. To this union one son and a daughter were born.
In 1959 Ralph took up employment as a pole sprayer with Pole Sprayers Inc. out of Buffalo, New York rising to the position of Leadman and traveling throughout the U.S. and Canada treating utility poles. In 1966 the family retuned to Quincy where Ralph went to work in the Lumber Industry until leaving in 1992 to work full time as an electrical contractor. He had taken up the trade while working at the mill in 1980 and finally retired in 2007.
Ralph was a longtime member of Plumas Lodge #60 F. & A.M. as well as the Lumber and Industrial Workers Union Local 3074 and the Quincy Elks Lodge. He served the community as both a Cub and Boy Scout Leader in the sixties. A former President of The Pioneer Stompers a local square dancing group Ralph with his wife enjoyed dancing throughout the area. He enjoyed fishing, relaxing reading westerns and spy novels and looked forward to solving the world's issues with the guys every morning over a cup of coffee.
