Ralph A.
Vosdingh
November 24, 1937 – January 28, 2019
Dr. Ralph A. Vosdingh, 81 of Ponce Inlet, FL went to be with our Lord on January 28, 2019 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born November 24, 1937 in Houston, TX to Abram and Mildred Vosdingh. After receiving his doctorate in veterinary medicine from Texas A&M in 1961 (Go Aggies!) he enlisted in the US Army Veterinary Corps (1961-1975). After an honorable military career, he was a virologist dedicated to vaccine research and development. His most significant achievement was the licensure of Haemophilus influenza (Hib B). As a published and accomplished scientist whose work touch millions of lives, he retired from Sanofi Pasteur in 1999. At that time, he met his current wife Jane. They spent half their time in the Poconos and the other in Ponce Inlet. In between, they would RV around most of the United States. Ralph enjoyed his animals, woodworking, fishing, gardening, watching sports, and traveling. He is preceded in death by his sister Betty Cole and his first wife Arlene. He is survived by his loving wife of 19 years, Jane Vosdingh (Livingston/Wagner) four step-children, Jason Wagner, John (Lili) Wagner, Josh (Jen) Wagner, Claire (John) Graham, and six grandchildren. He is also survived by his nieces, Cheryl (Gene) Acosta and Eileen (Lenny) Johnson, along with a plethora of family and friends. Ralph will be remembered for his infectious laugh that no vaccine could prevent. Ralph we call toast, "Here's to you Partner". A Celebration of Life will be held at Westminster by the Sea Presbyterian Church, 3221 S.
