Ralph Gordon Lea of Sun City Center, Fla., age 83, passed away peacefully on Sept. 4, 2021, at Life Path Hospice. Ralph was born in Waukegan, Ill., to Olive Madeline LaBelle and Peter Lea.
Ralph and his first wife, Susan Hoffman Mayfield, had a daughter, Michelle (Clay) Crutcher, and a son Michael.
Ralph’s Barber Shop was his business for 45 years in Mundelein, Ill. Not only was he an excellent barber, but they waited in lines for him, and he never even advertised. He was a devoted Christian man who knew the Bible entirely. Everyone loved him for his wit and jokes. His hobby was horse racing, where he did calculations. He was also a handyman and loved to work in his yard.
Preceding him in death were his brother Peter and his sister, Anita Rogers. He is survived by his wife, Diane McCorkle Thompson. He was a devoted husband and step-father to Angela (Anthony) Cox and Travis (Jennifer) Thompson. He had 10 grandchildren, Michael, Rachel, Kristina, Katie, Jessica, Ryan, Lauren, Connor, Sydney and Ava.
A Celebration of Life will take place at United Methodist Church in Sun City Center and also in Mundelein, Ill., at a later date.
Please make a donation in Ralph’s honor to Boys Town, an orphanage or Life Path Hospice
