Ralph Sypolt passed away on September, 24, 2013 after a short illness. He was the oldest of nine born to Walter & Faye on July 9, 1931 in Rowlesburg, WV. Dad grew up working the family farm using horses and hard work. Being the oldest he was responsible for teaching the younger boys as well as working on “Grandad’s” and several Uncle’s farms. He served his country by spending two years in Korea then moved to Akron, OH where he worked at General Tire for 27 years and Shipe Landscaping for 10 years. During this time Ralph was also a Green Township Volunteer Fireman, Green Schools bus driver, active in Summit County 4-H helping his kids showing horses and even had his own barrel racing horse.
Dad taught all of us about honesty and hard work. He was a “jack of all trades” and was always willing to help someone if asked. He never said anything bad about anyone and was very content with the simple things in life. But, most of all he loved his time spent with his family, especially the family reunions, and will be missed greatly!
Ralph is survived by his wife Eleanor, sons Dale, Bill and Kevin (Bonnie), and daughters Debbie (Chuck) Bergdorf and Darla (John) Penza. He has 13 beautiful grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren whom he greatly loved and enjoyed. He is also survived by brothers, John (Ethel), Cecil (Marilyn), Clyde (Sally), Rob (Carolyn), Rick (Alice), his sister Jane (Richard) Knotts, and sister-n-law Georgene Biggins. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Jim (Marie) sister and brother-n-law Ruby and Rich Dean, and his mother-in-law Nellie Kemp who loved him dearly.
