Oklahoma City native Ralph F. Pickle graduated from Northwest Classen High School before proudly serving in the U.S. Air Force and later the U.S. Postal Service. For 31 years, he worked as a letter carrier in Cleveland, Oklahoma, and spent his free time serving the Cleveland Church of Christ community.
Ralph's real passion in life was the Westview Boys' Home in Hollis, Oklahoma. During his lifetime, he made sure residents had spending money for their birthdays and Christmas. Through a gift in his estate, this tradition will live on through the Ralph Pickle Family Fund.
