Ralph H. Reichle, Sr. was born November 6, 1943 in Atchison, Kansas to Ralph C. and Grace M. Reichle. He passed away on November 14, 2019.

He graduated from St Nicholas Elementary and Atchison County Community High School in Effingham, KS. Shortly after high school he joined the Navy for four active years and 21 years in the reserves.

Ralph was a larger than life character – he was strong, kind, never met a stranger and ALWAYS wanted to make people laugh. He was special to many people and he will be missed.
