Date: 21 November 1999 [S542] Obituary of Ralph M. Sternenberg, [Eckermann p. 141]. RALPH M. STERNENBERG, 57, of Houston passed away on Saturday, November 20, 1999 after a brief illness. He was preceded in death by his father, Ralph H. Sternenberg, and his mother, Anita Mary Eckermann Sternenberg. Ralph is survived by his dear and loving friend, Christa Johansson of Houston and Switzerland; his devoted sister, Marilyn Sternenberg Felix and her husband, Michael of Houston; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and devoted friends. Ralph was reared in Houston and graduated from Lamar High School in 1962. He went on to receive a Bachelor of Art's degree from the University of Houston studying languages and psychology. Soon after graduating, he traveled extensively throughout Europe, where he fell in love with Germany and its language. After attending the Universitat Berlin in Berlin, Germany, he pursued a second career teaching German in Houston at Rice University's Continuing Education Department. Years later, he found himself in the hotel business in Houston working for large corporations as an outside consultant in management and accounting. His true love remained the classics-music and languagesin particularly Latin, Shakespeare, and his favorite composer, Mozart. He was deeply compassionate for the less fortunate and took great pride in his ability to offer encouragement and hope to those in need. Ralph had the uncanny ability to see the innocence of the world through the eyes of a child and to express his thoughts to others through his wit and his keen sense of humor. Anyone who was lucky enough to know Ralph and to experience his delight with life will never forget his vulnerability and sensitivity, which also was part of his charm. He will be sorely missed for his quick wit, his untamed spirit, and his unwavering loyalty to family and to friends. He was truly an angel from Heaven that God shared with us for too brief of a moment. Friends are invited to visitation with the family from 5:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M. on Sunday, November 21, 1999 at The Settegast-Kopf Funeral Directors, 3320 Kirby Drive. Private graveside services and interment will be held at The Methodist Church Cemetery in Industry, Texas. [S779] Index of Marriages of Austin County 1921-1974, [Eckermann p. 326]. Ralph H.
