Ralph Carlisle
85, EL DORADO
Ralph L. Carlisle, 85, El Dorado, passed into his heavenly reward and into the presence of his creator on Feb. 21, 2012.
A celebration of his life is planned for 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, at Carlson Funeral Home in El Dorado. A private family burial service will precede the memorial service.
Ralph was born in Hunter, Mo. on Feb. 13, 1927 to Jay and Sybil (Hancock) Carlisle. At an early age the family moved to Burns, Kan. where he was raised on the farm and graduated from Burns High School.
He married Margaret “Muggs” Hull on March 20th 1945. He departed ? soon after to I serve his \ country in the U.S. Navy and was on sea duty near Japan when World War II ended.
Ralph began his 33 year career with the Gas Service Company as a welder and moved into the field as a serviceman technician. His ability to fix almost anything earned him a leadership position as maintenance supervisor.
His kind ways, pleasing personality and gentle manner earned him the respect of his coworkers and all the many customers he helped. His experience as a repairman for gas air-conditioners made him famous and a much sought after instructor on these complicated machines.
In the early 60’s and 70’s, Ralph enjoyed photography, riding his Harley Motorcycle, trap shooting and serving on the El Dorado Police Reserves.
In 1979 Ralph retired from the Gas Service Company and began his own business with his son-in-law John Grange. Ralph retired from Carlisle Heating Air Conditioning, Electrical and Plumbing in 1991, and upon retirement moved to a farm east of El Dorado.
On the farm Ralph enjoyed a lengthy retirement where he kept busy “tinkering,” moving rock and dirt with the tractor, cutting firewood, feeding the deer and turkeys, and making his “crop circles.” He enjoyed driving 4-wheelers and as he got older he purchased a Kawasaki Mule so he could drive the section line each evening to view the wildlife and sunsets.
Ralph and Muggs enjoyed sharing their little piece of paradise by allowing Boy Scouts, church groups, friends and family, grandkids, entire classes of school children and sometimes strangers to walk the woods, fish the ponds and creek, enjoy cook-outs or camp overnight. He especially enjoyed the time he spent with his grandchildren and great grandchildren down at the “cabin.”
His long love affair with Muggs produced three daughters, Carol Carlisle of Wichita, Nancy (John) Grange of El Dorado, and Cathy (Lyle) Shaffer of rural Latham.
Ralph is also survived by his wife of 66 years, Margaret; brother, David (Sue) Carlisle, San Angelo, Texas; sister, Anise Janzen, San Diego,
Calif.; seven grandchildren, Matt(Jayme) Grange, McKenzie Grange Harding, Jake (Blayne) Shaffer, all of El Dorado, Sara (Alan) Lonas, Gatlinburg,Tenn., Tim (Keera) Ketterman Dallas, Texas, Becky (Scott) Stewart, Mulvane and Betsy (Blake) Hartje of Aurora, Colo.; extended family includes, six greatgrandchildren, Charlie Grange, Samuel Harding, Emma and Kate Lonas, Luke and Landen Stewart, and Karsyn Shaffer.
Ralph was preceded in death by his parents, and a nephew, Todd Carlisle.
Memorials have been established with Boy Scout Troop #222 El Dorado, The Lord's Diner Wichita, and Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
