Ralph E. Brown
Ralph E. Brown, 82, of Greenville, Ohio, went home to be with his Lord on Sunday, June 28, 2020.
He was born on January 20, 1938, in Arcanum, Ohio, to the late Lowell E. and Lenna C. (Johnston) Brown.
Ralph is survived by his wife of 60 years, Martha Joan (Morris) Brown,
whom he married on February 27, 1960; his children, Terri Brown Lenzo
of Findlay, Ohio, and Greg Brown of Ludlow Falls, Ohio; his
grandchildren, Greg and Alex Lenzo, and Blake, Brent, and Brooke Brown;
his great grandchildren, Kayden and Natalie Brown; and his brother,
Kent Brown and his wife Pam, of Ithaca, Ohio.
Ralph had many interest and hobbies. He was a ham radio operator for
over 70 years. He competed in many contests over the years using the
call sign W8WPC. He looked forward to attending the Dayton Hamfest
every year. He was also a pilot flying his Cessna Skylane 182 out of
the Darke County Airport. in 1973, he and his wife Joan founded
Abbottsville Monuments. Together they operated the business until 2013
when the torch was passed to their son. Ralph's idea of relaxing was
sitting on a boat for hours on end fishing. He took part in many
fishing trips to Canada or Florida. He and Joan would see who could
catch the most Walleye. Joan bested him many times.
Ralph's family will be receiving guests on Friday, July 3, 2020, from
1:00 PM until the time of the service at 2:00 PM. A funeral service
will follow at 2:00 PM, at Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville Campus,
