Ralph Neal Eubanks, 84, of Beaufort, North Carolina, passed away at a hospice center in Richmond, Kentucky attended by his wife Patriica Eubanks and daughter Alison Eubanks Craig.

Ralph was born to Luther Eubanks and Ruth Hardy Eubanks on December 15, 1937 in the small community of South River, 20 miles north of Beaufort, NC.

Ralph was the youngest of 13 children, and is survived by his wife, Patricia Rogers Eubanks, and three children, Ralph "Rafe" Eubanks Jr.of Amarillo, TX, Kathy McInvale of Tybee Island, GA, and Alison Craig of Midway, KY, as well we his sister Mabel Courtney of New Bern, NC. There were many other nieces, nephews, and extended family, but he thought of his niece Burnice Stilley as his "little
sister."

Ralph had three natural grandchildren, Heather Craig, Nicholas Craig, and Parker Craig all of Midway, Kentucky.

He also loved his step-grandchildren Katie Miller and Kathy Catino.

Ralph worked for AT&T / SouthernBell / BellSouth for forty years from 1956-1996, and then in retirement started as a telephone contractor engineer for another five years working for Parsons and Byers Engineering.

He remained actively engaged in his community of Asheville, NC as a poll worker for the Republican Party and other part time work with Lowes Home Improvement and The Asheville School and Clyde A Erwin High Schools.

Ralph's real passion outside of work was Amateur HAM Radio (his call sign KK4FC). He began the amateur radio club in Charlotte, NC teaching classes for new people to be trained and licensed, as well as raising funds to put radio equipment in local schools and in the Discovery Place museum in Charlotte.

His HAM radio rig was beside his hospice bed comforting him despite being unable to use it due to his onset of Alzheimer's disease.

A memorial service will be held at Midway Baptist Church, 121 S. Winter Street, Midway, KY on Thursday July 1, 2021 in the Fellowship Hall beginning at 6:00PM, a meal of fried/baked chicken and fixins will be provided afterward.

We intend to livestream the service through Alison Eubanks Craig facebook meetings as well.

Care Cremation and Funeral Service is honored to be entrusted with final care.
