| Notes |
- Ralph attended school at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, Texas A&M University, and the Unviersity of Texas Dental Branch in Houston where he was valedictorian of his class when he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Afterwards he served a dental internship and residency at Jefferson Davis Hospital in Houston.
Ralph was past president of the Houston District Dental Society, the American Academy of Gold Foil Operators where he was a charter member, Southwestern Academy of Oral Medicine where he was also a charter member, and the American and Southwestern Academies of Restorative Dentistry. He was a charter member of the the Houston Gold Foil Study Club and held membership in the Academy of Dentistry International, the Pierre Fuchard Academy, and the American Academy of Endodontists. As a Fellow of the American College of Dentists, he served on the Board of Regents and as Vice Chairman of the Texas Section. He was also a reporter of research and new endeavors in dentistry for the Texas Dental Association.
His special awards and honors include: Cooley Trophy (1969), The Distinguished Member Award, American Academy of Gold Foil Operators (1979), The William John Gies Award (1981), Omicron Kappa Upsilon and the Award of Honorary Alumnus of Baylor College of Dentistry (1982), and Baylor College of Dentistry Hall of Fame Recipient (1985).
Ralph maintained an interest in furthering professional education, in clinical dentistry and in dental research. His study and research with Dr. Bernard Gottlieb at Baylor College of Dentistry during the 1940's is reflected in his endowment of histopathology research at the college in Dr. Gottlieb's memory.
Ralph maintained a private practice at the same location in Houston for 52 years. Upon his retirement to Industry, Texas, he was active as a lay leader in the United Methodist Church of Industry. He endowed an internship for ministers at Southern Methodist University. He also was a member of the Masonic and Elk Lodges in Houston. He served for a time as chairman of the Board of Directors of the Industry State Bank and in 1990 he was named Citizen of the Year by the West End Lions Club.
