 "Uncle Ralph '', as he was known, was a fun loving guy; he always had some good advice and was willing to help anyone that needed it. He was the life of the party. His big heart spreads love to every person that has ever met him. Being around him just took your worries away. From his childhood in West Virginia, through his time in the Chicago area, he continued to gather lifelong friends that stuck with him throughout time. 

Ralph was a mechanic. He could fix just about anything. He enjoyed spending time with loved ones, cranking music and singing Karaoke. He was an inspiration on how to just be free and have a good time. He would brighten anyone's day and never met anyone he didn't like. 

Those remaining to cherish his memory are His Sisters Ruby Benett, Betty Maroni, Tena Smith and his brother David Arnold; as well as his step son William Gilligan, his son Joseph Arnold and wife Ashlee (Sykora) Arnold and 4 grandchildren, Joseph J, Evelyn, Mary and Eddy Arnold, and all his nieces nephews, cousins and friends who called him Uncle Ralph.
