Ralph Alex Jahner Ralph Alex Jahner - Stevenson Funeral Home

To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck
up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a
time to gather stones together,
a time to embrace, and
a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to mend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Ralph Alex Jahner was born May 27, 1927 in
Hirshville, Dunn County, North Dakota. Ralph grew up on the
family farm in Hirshville until he was eight years old when his
parents passed on. He was raised by his aunts and uncles, John
and Mathilda Badinger. He left Dickinson at the age of 19,
and arrived in California and Alaska. He met his wife Frances
(Fritzie) M. Winczewski when he returned to Dickinson in
1949, and they were married Nov. 27, 1950. The two then
returned to Adak, Alaska where their first son Michael was
born. They then returned to North Dakota where Suzanne and
Tom were born. His work took him to many places including
Washington. While there, son Charles was born. Work took
Ralph and the family to Montana, California, Arizona, Colorado,
Virginia and Wyoming. Prior to retirement Ralph and
Fritzie enjoyed building golf courses in Hawaii. He retired
on four acres of prairie land in Glenrock, Wyoming. He kept
busy planting trees, making a home for his family, and helping
others. His interests included carving walking canes from
diamond willow wood, cutting firewood, and hunting with his
sons, returning with many wild hunting stories. Other adventures
included fishing in Alaska and enjoying several cruises.
