Ralph Daniels Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 22, 2013.

Ralph Lupton Daniels was born in Beaufort, NC on August 30, 1929 to Burton and Tennie Daniels. He died in Houston, TX on April 21, 2012. Ralph attended the North Carolina School for the deaf and was taught a carpentry trade, which he used in the employ of his father, a home builder. He was an avid sports fan-following all the Beaufort High School teams locally and often out of town. In his younger years he attended stock-car races as well. He was a diehard UNC fan, to which his baseball cap and tee shirt collection attests. He loved anything to do with the coast of North Carolina where he spent most of his life. There he was known as "Ruffy" and had many relatives and friends growing up. A few years ago Ralph moved to Houston to be near his sister Pat Lester as he was experiencing multiple health problems. He was situated in Heights Tower, a senior high-rise apartment, where he made friends and enjoyed the busy shops along the street in front. He particularly liked the thrift stores and the "Neiman-Marcus" table in the high-rise basement. He participated in Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church, enjoyed Wednesday night suppers at Oak Forest Baptist Church, Houston Deaf Senior Club and there many bus trips, Fairbees Square Dance Club and visits with Pat's children in Round Rock, TX and Mableton, GA> Recently he has had the loving caregiving services of Emmauel Health Home Care.
Ralph is survived by another sister, also deaf, Mildred Argyle of York, SC. He was one of seven children, three of whom were born deaf.
A memorial service is planned for Sunday, April 28th at Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church, 9920 Long Point. Time to be announced. On-line condolences can be expressed at www.pathfoleyfuneraldirectors.com

Dear Patsy and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Ruffy. He was truly blessed to have your loving care all of these years. Time has gone by too fast..Our family is slowly becoming smaller, but oh golly think of all the wonderful memories we all had growing up, losing love ones does not take that away, it just enhances the memories more. God has truly blessed us all with the families we had and still have.
