CANAAN — It’s with our family’s heartbreak that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, daddy and poppy Ralph Allen Maddock, 82, of Canaan on Jan. 25, 2023, who was born Nov. 15, 1940.
Oh how we will miss you! We looked up to you, we followed you, we admired you, we were so proud of you and we bragged to anyone that would listen about you. We laughed with you, we cried with you, we held you tight, we respected you more than we ever told you. We listened to you, we talked to you even when it was something you didn’t want to hear. We learned so much from you, we respected you for your selfless love and caring ways. You were someone to listen to and someone to try and impress. You were most of all, someone to share everything with in this life. We are so incredibly grateful that we were blessed to have you in our lives. To say that we loved you would be the biggest understatement and to say we are going to miss you would be an even greater understatement. We cannot begin to imagine not having you on the end of the phone or always being there when we need you. The love you showed us was unconditional, your kindness and generosity will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing you. Thank you for giving this world 82 years of greatness, we wanted you to stay here another 82 years but the angels have called you home. Thank you God for showing us heaven on earth with the greatest man of all times. The world is so much dimmer without you here, but we will see you in the rainbows, the sunshine and everything beautiful in between. Until we see and hold you again.
With so much love,
Betty, Lori, Missy, Randy, Dantae and Logan
P.S. We’ll see you in paradise. To honor his wishes, there will be no funeral service. We invite you to please celebrate Ralph’s memory in your own ways.
Please send condolences to Elizabeth (Betty) Maddock, PO Box 574, Canaan, CT 06018
