Orlo R. Cully, Jr.

Orlo R. "Ralph" Cully, Jr., age 73, of Toledo, passed away peacefully Sunday, August 6, 2023 at Browning Masonic Retirement Community. He was born on November 2, 1949 to Orlo Sr. and Pauline (Disbrow) Cully in Toledo. Ralph graduated in 1969 from Whitmer High School. He was a Union Printer at Keystone Press for over 40 years until retiring in 2015. Ralph was an active member of Robinson Locke Lodge #659, Genoa Council #138, Fort Meigs Chapter #29, Eu Tah Commandry #66 and Toledo Commandry #7 for many years. He led each group at least one time, earning Knight York Cross of Honor; something he was proud of.

Ralph also had a passion for classic cars being a member of Glass City Corvettes. When his sons were younger he enjoyed being Scout Master for their Boy Scout Troops. He would also volunteer for Whitmer High School's marching band. Ralph always loved a good western movie! His smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by those who knew and loved him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 47 years, Darla; and brother-in-law, Ron Richards. Left to cherish Ralph's memory are his loving sons, Orlo "Chip" Cully, III, Peter (Shelby) Cully and Nathan (Heather) Cully; grandchildren, Darren, Mikayla, Kaitlyn, Morgan, Kylie, Ava, and Liam; sister, Patricia Richards; 4 nieces; and dear friends.
