He was a decorated B-17 pilot in WWII awarded the air medal and purple heart for his combat flights with the Army Air Corp.

Ralph is survived by two sons, Tom (Jan) and Jerry (Cathy) Peters, his sister Bonnie Phillips, 5 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Ralph was preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Pauline, his father Emery, mother Nancy, brothers William, Forrest and Earl Peters, sisters Mae and Janet Peters, Irene Doane and Marceline McKinney.
