Ralph Benoit, a son to Ralph and Barbara, a loving brother to Rebecca, Renee, and Robert, the most incredible uncle to his nieces and nephews, Breckon, Hayley, Mikhaila and Abigail and a friend to so many, has passed away sudden after spending a week in the ICU with sepsis.

As a teacher, Ralph spent many years in the classroom in Holyoke high school as a physics/chemistry teacher and also more recently an anatomy teacher. He absolutely loved physics and enjoyed sharing his love and knowledge to the students. He was loved and admired by his students and especially by his family.

To say that Ralph has made an impact on the lives of many is an understatement. Our days will never be the same without his quirky humor, loud voice that echoed through the house and his constant love and support. Throughout his 59 years, Ralph has done anything and everything to support his family and put everyone before himself. He is unlike anyone you will ever meet and our hearts are broken knowing that he is no longer with us. In order to defray to the funeral costs and other bills regarding Ralph, we are asking for any help that you can give. We are eternally grateful for the outpouring love and support we have already received. Anyone who had the privilege to know Ralph knows how special he was and how thankful he would be.
