Mr. Steinlage was born July 26, 1947 to the late Frank and Frances Glissman Steinlage. Ralph was a founding partner of Gold Star Concrete Company for over 30 years. He could best be described as hard working and a little stubborn. He lived by the motto “go big or go home,” OUR DAD WAS BIGGER THAN LIFE! Ralph possessed a selfless spirit, and devoted himself to his Catholic faith and his church. He was quick to turn any event into a competition and took great pride in the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren. He loved deeply and will be profoundly missed by his many friends and family.
