The Record  July 28, 2004
Roseburg, OR
Ralph Edwin Finch 
June 15, 1941 - July 24, 2004



Ralph Edwin Finch, age 63, of Roseburg, Oregon, left us all quickly to be with 
his Heavenly Father on Saturday, July 24, 2004 at his sister's home. Ralph was 
born on June 15, 1941 in Purcell, Oklahoma to Louis and Martha Finch. He spent 
most of his lifetime living in Stockton, CA and moved to Roseburg 8 years ago 
to live near his sister. Those who knew him best couldn't help but love him. 
Ralph was a quiet and soft-spoken man, much a loner. When he struck up a 
friendship with you, you were his friend for life. Ralph enjoyed his many daily 
walks in downtown Roseburg and will be missed by all of those who daily waved 
back to him. Ralph enjoyed his collection of baseball cards, books, talking 
about the old history days, birds and wildlife of all kinds. His most favorite 
time was his weekends spent at his sister's home. Ralph enjoyed the quiet times 
in the country and choosing just the right place to eat meals out with his 
family. Ralph so much enjoyed the simple pleasures of life and never asked for 
much.
Survivors include his mother, Martha Finch of Roseburg, Oregon; sister, Lou Ann 
and brother-in-law Jim Osborn of Riddle, Oregon; brother, Richard and sister-in-
law Barbara of LaPine, Oregon and nieces and nephews, Shelly Gruver, Bradley 
Osborn, Lacey Osborn Williams, Brian Finch, Kevin Finch and Melissa Finch. 
Ralph had two special angel caretakers, Liz and Dwight Stanton of Roseburg, 
Oregon, who have cared for Ralph the last 8 years that he has lived in 
Roseburg. Ralph was preceded in death by his father, Louis Finch. 
No services are scheduled at this time. Mountain View Memorial Chapel at Myrtle 
Creek, Oregon is assisting the family Burial will take place at Cherokee 
Memorial Park in Lodi, CA.
