He later returned to graduate work and received his master's degree at the University of Vermont. Ralph began his lifelong career of teaching in Fairfax, Vt., and continued as a high school science and Vice Principal until 1974, when he retired from Delaware Literary Institute and Franklin Central School. During World War II he worked as a metallurgist for Jones & Lamson, a defense plant in Springfield, Vt., then he became a partner in Weeks and Whitney Dairy in North Charleston, N.H. In 1949, he moved with his family to Franklin. In 1956, with a few colleagues, he helped found the Delaware County Teachers Federal Credit Union, now the Chen-Del-O Federal Credit Union, and became its treasurer for many years. He was a 50-plus member of the Franklin F.&A.M. Lodge No. 562, and a member of the Franklin United Methodist Church since 1950. Ralph was a staunch member of the National Education Association, serving each of these organizations in many capacities. Ralph was predeceased by his wife, Dorothy (Andrews) Whitney, whom he married June 21, 1936. Also, by Susan Whitney, Donald, Susan and Joseph Westcott.

Hebbard, Anthony, Kristin and Katherin Hebbard, Carensa, Mike and Shelby Hunter, Jennifer Hebbard and fiance, Nate, and Heather, Oliver and Liam Gingrich. As an educator, Ralph felt strongly about students furthering their knowledge by a hands-on participation, so many years ago he made the decision to donate his total body to The Anatomical Gift Program at The Albany Medical College for this purpose. Memorial service will be announced at a later date.
