He immediately enlisted in the US Army and served overseas in the European Theater with Army Corps of Engineers during WWII. His first and last punctual meeting was on a date which turned into a marriage of Ruth F. (Filen) and Ralph Hurley on October 5, 1945 at St. Therese Catholic Church.
Ralph worked with Riverside Paper initially in the mill and later in the office achieving the title of Materials Manager a post he held until his retirement after 43 years of dedicated service. He was dragged to Paper Industry Expos in Chicago only twice, which was two to many. He was good with people and did well in his personal touch in these meetings. He loved to golf, play volleyball, walleye fish and was a member of the men's fast-pitch softball team. He was the yearly cook in the northwoods deer camp. Most of all Ralph loved his quiet time at home with his family on his couch.
