Obituary:
Ralph V. Grishaber, age 90, of Menasha, died on Tuesday, April 15, 2008, at his home. Ralph was born on June 27, 1917, in Appleton, to the late Dominic and Flora (Forster) Grishaber. He married Kathleen Krause on October 29, 1941, in Appleton. Ralph proudly served his country in the United States Air Corps during World War II. Stationed in Barksdale Field in Shreveport, Louisiana, he worked in the hospital as a hematologist, specializing in identifying diseases being brought back from the Pacific Theatre. After the war, Ralph and Kathleen returned to the Fox Cities, where he began a life-long career at Kimberly-Clark, retiring in 1982.
He was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Menasha, serving as a member of the Parish Finance Committee. Ralph was also President of the Menasha Library Board and was a long-time leader for the Boys Brigade. He loved fishing, golf and auto racing. Ralph loved the holidays - to his family he was known as "Ralph the Festive." He was a man of absolute honesty and integrity. Ralph was devoted to his family and community. A finer man never existed.
Survivors include his wife of 66 years, Kathleen; his sons, Stephen and David (Mary) Grishaber; his daughter, Christine Braun; and his loving sister, Sally Van Vreede and brother, Roland (Barbara) Grishaber. Ralph's great joy was the time he spent with his grandchildren: Stephan and James R. Braun, and Elaine and Anna Grishaber.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at Affinity Hospice for their loving care.
A Memorial Mass will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 19, 2008, at ST. MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 212 Appleton Street, Menasha, with Fr. Paul Radetski officiating. Friends may call directly at the church on Saturday from 10 a.m. until the time of services.
