With great sadness, the family of Ralph Bernard Ginter announces his peaceful passing on Sunday February 6, 2022, following a courageous battle with cancer.

He worked in the retail lumber industry at Southern Lumber, Rod’s Building Supply and Griff Building Supply. Ralph had a passion for fishing at Loon Lake & Hefley Lake. He enjoyed camping in Osoyoos and at Derby Reach. He loved watching hockey, baseball, lacrosse, curling and golf.

My thoughts and prayers are with Judy and family at this time. I know personally the loss of a loved one is never easy. Ralph was a great guy and I always enjoyed my time with him. Knowing he is no longer in pain is a blessing. Stay strong Judy and reach out for help in the coming days. Love Jim Claydon
