Ralph Paul Douglas, 79, New Smyrna Beach FL entered into rest April 19, 2016. He was born in Jeffersonville, Indiana. He was graduated from the University of Florida with Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctorate Degrees.

Ralph was a uniquely gifted trial attorney, inspirational father, uncle and grandfather.  Always the one to cheer up a weary soul he daily challenged anyone he came in contact to examine themselves and their gifts of life, liberty, family and health.  Even a long and difficult illness could not restrain his ability to bring laughter to a weary hospital wing or infusion room.  His secret was knowing he was in the grasp of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He leaves to cherish his memory children Jeffrey (Kristy) Douglas, Ralph (Julie) Douglas, Laura (Ronald) Cason, siblings Helen (Jack) Ming, William Douglas, James (Peggy) Douglas, Companion Lois Gaddini and five grandchildren.

Life Celebration will be 4:30 PM Friday, April 22 at Baldwin Brothers Heritage Place 1 North Causeway New Smyrna Beach FL 32169. Committal services will be private at Evergreen Cemetery, Greenville, FL.
