Ralph Darrell Hendrick, 86 of Richardson, Texas passed away on August 31, 2020. He was loving known as Ralphie Poo. He was born in Reed, Oklahoma before moving to Texas.
Ralph served in the US Army as a Platoon Sargent and later transferred to the Helicopter Squadron.
Ralph served the community and his family with high regard and dedication. Often driving through Holy Lake Ranch you will see his Eagles. These were always made as a gift for someone who needed the extra love!
He was a dedicated Christian who never met a stranger. Everyone who knew Ralph knew about his big heart, sense of humor and the infamous God Pocket. As the nurse asked him the other night, you do not have an enemy do you? No he did not. His life goal was to share his love of Christ, his love and his humor.
He is survived by his wife, Nelda and two daughters, Sondra Pohland of Garland and Shanna Hendrick of Florida. Four grandchildren, Bryan Pohland and wife Katie, Tana Martinez, Jordan Pohland and J Logue and his girlfriend Nina Jaliashvili. He also had four great grandsons, Andrew, Daniel, Jaxon and Frederick. He also leaves behind his many brothers and sister in Christ.

I will miss your humor and heartfelt hugs always!! Love you Ralph’s poo
The first time I met Ralph he got me a job working on the house next door to his. I met him there the next day. He showed me the repair to be done and then told me to have a seat. He said I want to get to know you before you start this work. He said I want to hear your testimony. I said, my what. He said I’ll start. He told me all about his life at that point. So I told him all about mine. We had allot of similarities in our lives. The next day while working on the house Ralph came over and told me He had a good feeling about me and I should buy that house. I did. It was the beginning of the best years of my life. Ralph was a good teacher, great man of God, and was the first father figure I had really had. We spent as much time together with he and Nelda as we could, and loved them both dearly. Ralph may never know the impact he had in my life then, and now, and always. I thank God for directing our paths to cross. I love you Ralph (Dad) you will always own a piece of my heart
My forever best friend, dad, teacher, mentor and the best man I will ever know until I draw my last breathe. I love you dad!
