I thank God for the 66 years He gave us together - loving husband, my best friend, and wonderful father to our four sons. I miss you more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you, Fellino, for loving me. Ruth.

Ralph Pacini
August 6, 1914 - November 11, 2015
Ralph Pacini passed away
quietly in his own home at age
91 with his wife of 66 years at
his side. He is survived by his
four children, 13
grandchildren, and 18 greatgrandchildren.
Ralph was born in Chicago
August 6, 1914, attended
medical school at the
University of Illinois, and was
proud to serve in the Army Medical Corps during the Korean
War. He married Ruth in 1949, and then moved his family to
Grand Junction in 1961, where he served as Chief of Medicine
at the VA until his retirement in 1985. He built his family cabin
shortly after arriving in Colorado and enjoyed spending as much
time there as possible.
Led by his strong Christian faith, following his retirement he
developed a keen interest in and was a published author of
ancient history, particularly as it related to the Old Testament.
As a child he built his own radios, and maintained a life-long
fascination with all things scientific, including an attempt to
design an antigravity device. In recent years, he was particularly
interested in cosmology, including the electric universe theory,
young universe catastrophism, and planetary interactions.
His family and many friends all knew him as a kind and gentle
Christian, loving father, grandfather, and husband.

Monday, November 16 at 11:00 a.m. Viewing will be from 9:00
