IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Ralph Dale
Archer
December 30, 1931 – January 24, 2026
Archer, Ralph Dale age 94 of Tipp City, Ohio passed away at his home surrounded by family on Saturday, January 24, 2026. Ralph was born in Kentucky on December 30,1931 to the late Earl and Nell Archer. He is preceded in death by his parents, loving wife Gloria and son Michael Archer, and brothers Earl Jr. "Sonny" and Kenneth Archer. Ralph is survived by his daughter Kim (Craig) Riviello of Tipp City, Ohio, sister Mildred Jones, daughter-in-law Jan Archer, five grandchildren David (Melissa) Archer, Katherine Archer, Kenzie (Tony) Phillips, Kourtnie (Caleb) Gettinger, and Karli Riviello and five cherished great grandchildren.
Ralph was a man who found his greatest joy in the outdoors and in the company of those he loved. A passionate hunter, he especially treasured elk hunting trips in the wide-open landscapes of Montana. When he wasn't in the mountains, Ralph could often be found on the water, enjoying peaceful days fishing for bass. With a love for travel and sunshine, Ralph spent his winters as a "snow bird" at his home in Florida, embracing a slower pace and warmer days. No matter where he was, what mattered most to him was family. He cherished time spent with his loved ones and created memories that will be held close and remembered always. Ralph will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, and his legacy lives on in the stories, laughter, and shared moments he leaves behind.
A private Memorial Service will be held at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Humane Society in Ralph's honor, supporting a cause close to his heart. Miami County Humane Society: 305 S.
