Ralph was born on December 17, 1933, in Reliance, MD, to the late Marion and Nora Hastings Tull. He and his wife, Betty Ann Hurley made their home in Federalsburg. He lived a full and vibrant life, often found enjoying the great outdoors, whether that be hunting or fishing. Ralph had a passion for flea markets and was a frequent attendee at Curtis Andrew Auction in American Corner, where he loved rummaging for hidden treasures.

Professionally, Ralph dedicated many years as a mixer at Zaffere Bakery, where he was known for his hard work and dedication. He also lent his skills to Eastern Trailer and Danny's Auto Body, leaving a lasting impression on his colleagues and friends.

Ralph is survived by his beloved children: Mark Tull, Kathy Walsh, Clay Tull and Chris Corkell; along with several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory.

In addition to his parents, Ralph is preceded in death by his wife, Betty and his siblings: Arthur Tull, Marion Tull, Brantley Tull, Charles Tull, Mildred Davidson and Grace Nichols.
