Firefighter Keith M. Ralph – 1942 – 2025

Surrounded by his family at North Shore Health Network – Blind River on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Keith peacefully passed away at the age of 82. Loving husband of Margaret Ralph, proud stepfather to William (Anna), Sharon (Greg), Robin, and Darcy (Nicole), and proud step-grandfather to Issy and Shayna. He will be fondly remembered by his brothers, Glenn (Laureen), Greg (Sue Brown), and Colin. He is predeceased by his parents, Norman (Betty) and Marie, his brother Ian, and his nephew Christopher. He will also be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews.

Keith was born and raised in Toronto. After a career in the Toronto Fire Department, he embarked on a second career as a school bus driver. After many years in Southern Ontario, Keith and Margaret moved to Iron Bridge to enjoy their retirement, spend time with Margaret’s older brothers, and, as Keith would say, “the fresh Northern air”. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
