Ralph M. Cole Jr.

Ralph M. Cole Jr., 68, of Williamsport, passed away Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020 at home.

Born July, 20, 1952 in Williamsport, he was the son of the late Ralph M. Sr. and Joyce A. (Kinney) Cole.

Ralph was employed as a custodian at Penn College for over 20 years. He was a member of St. Paul-Calvary United Methodist Church. Ralph enjoyed music and watching history movies. He had a unique way of doing things Ralph’s way with a great sense of humor, making any time a good time. Ralph was a very giving and loyal person, always there for anyone in need. He touched the lives of many, offering second chances and encouraging those who were trying to get back into the workforce. He loved his family dearly and his greatest joy in life was being “Pap” to his grandchildren, who meant the world to him.

Cole III (Michele) of Montoursville, and Leslie Cole (Dana Pfirman), of Rauchtown; several grandchildren; seven siblings, Ann Achberger (Curtis), Sharon Jenney, Cindy Cole, Rick Cole (Donna), Glen Cole (Cheryl), Keith Cole (Stacey), and Timothy Cole (Judy); several nieces, nephews, and most importantly a special figure in his life, JimJoeBob.
