A memorial service will occur at 4 p.m. on June 1, 2024, at Calvary Episcopal Church, 132 N Royal Ave, Front Royal, Virginia 22630, with the Reverend Valerie Hayes officiating. Following the service, the family will have a private inurnment in the Calvary Memorial Garden, then meet for a Celebration Dinner.

Ralph was born to the late Frederick and Ethel Cable on April 13, 1927, in Derby, Connecticut. His daughter, Linda Daley, and his eight siblings also preceded him.

Surviving Ralph are his loving wife, Sally B. Cable; his daughters, Alice Weinreb of Canal Fulton, OH, Carol Cable of Front Royal, and Janice Derico of Ducktown, TN; his five grandsons; and his three great-grandchildren.

Ralph was a proud member of the United States Navy and served on the U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II. He was also a member of Calvary Episcopal Church, the American Legion Giles B. Cook Post 53, and a vestry member.

Ralph was very involved with his church, the Senior Center, and C-CAP; he often made pasta sauce, soup, and chili for the church and community meals. His friends often said his chili was the hottest and would have trouble eating it.

For 20 years, Ralph ran a dairy farm in Lafayette Township in Chippewa Lake, Ohio, until 1978. While there, he was very involved with St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Medina County, Ohio.

Ralph’s main career was as a food inspector; he learned how while working with Smucker’s in Ohio in 1968. He then got his certification and worked as a food inspector for the USDA for 25 years until he retired. Following his “retirement,” he would occasionally assist as a food inspector.

Ralph also started playing harmonica when he was 64 years old. He played harmonica for 30 years with the Rusty Strings Band but would also play for anyone at any time. When someone had a birthday, Ralph would immediately whip out his harmonica and play for them.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to C-CAP at 400 Kendrick Ln, Front Royal, VA 22630, and to the Warren County Senior Center at  1217 Commonwealth Ave, Front Royal, VA 22630

Aden Lee Madison Hamman, 19, of Strasburg, Virginia, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 10, 2024, at his home.

Aden Lee Madison Hamman

A funeral service will be held on Sunday, May 19, at 2:00 p.m. at Maddox Funeral Home, with Sammy Campbell officiating.  The inurnment will be private.

Aden was born August 17, 2004, to Sybil Hamman of Strasburg, Virginia.

Aden was a kind, loving person who enjoyed being around family and friends and always knew how to make someone’s day. He was also a huge Super Mario fan and collected every game and console he could get his hands on. He started playing as a young boy sitting on his Mamaw’s lap in front of the TV.  In his early years, he mastered playing a new ‘Mario’ game and beating it on the same day.   As he would say, “I crushed the boss”.  He could sit and talk about the games for hours and go into extreme detail on all the events and challenges he had to face to beat the games. It was mind-blowing listening to him.

As Aden grew into a young man, he joined an online club where he would write stories and share them online. He was excited about doing this as he had finally found a passion for something new, but don’t let that fool you; Mario was still his #1.

Aden also enjoyed reading, listening to music, and attending concerts. With his favorite band being ‘Imagine Dragons’, sometimes he would blast them through the whole house without even knowing. Just dancing away in his room.

Surviving with his mom is a brother, Aron Hamman; maternal grandparents, Joseph and Clara Ramey; aunts; uncles; cousins; friends; and a half-sister, Whitney Beaty.

Aden loved his family dearly and will be greatly missed by Mom, his family, and everyone who knew him.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, May 19, from 1-2 p.m. at the funeral home.

Memorial contribution may be made to the Autism Society, 6110 Executive Boulevards, Suite 305, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
