Ralph Warner

Ralph H. Warner, 56, of Tampa, passed away Thursday, May 7, 2009. Ralph, who wasn't expected to live very long, beat all the odds to live life on his own terms. He always said, "I will" not "I can't." He lived life to the fullest, especially enjoying music and fishing. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and uncle, and was blessed with a large group of caring friends, some recent and some from childhood. He is survived by his daughter, Rebecca, sister, Michele Belew (Walter), niece, Sarah Rockwell (Alex), numerous cousins and friends, all of whom will miss his wisdom, advice, and views on politics. Even though life sometimes dealt him a bad hand, he managed to draw to an inside straight. He lived a full life truly worth celebrating. A memorial service will be held Monday, 10:00 AM at Segal Funeral Home, 3909 Henderson Boulevard, Tampa. Rabbi Richard Birnholz will officiate. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Lifepath Hospice or to the charity of ones choice.
