He was born July 16, 1957, in Rogers City to Howard and Kathleen (O’Toole) Viegelahn.

Ralph will be remembered as a truly loving man whose kindness left a mark on the hearts of all who knew him. His commitment to his farm, and more so his love for potatoes, will never be forgotten. However, the commitment and love for his family will always live on. He cherished his wife, children, and grandchildren with a warmth that enveloped them in a lifetime of joy. He was the best dad, father-in-law, and grandpa/poppy.

Nine grandchildren: Cameron, Jay, Reagan, Emma, Claire, Neveah, Tyler, Addisyn and Ayden.
