LINCOLN - Brian W Ratliff, 58, of Lincoln, passed away November 5, 2014. Born on January 20th, 1956, in Wall Township, New Jersey, he spent most years in different locations (Spain, New Mexico, Texas) serving in the United States Air Force, before settling in Delaware. He was a Tech Sgt. in the 436th military airlift wing at Dover Air Force Base. After retiring from the Air Force, he used his acquired skills as a quality assurance aircraft inspector with DynCorp International at Andrews Air Force Base on the presidential fleet. His love of surf fishing, playing the guitar, riding his Harley and sharing the occasional crown and Coke with his buddies was only surpassed by his unconditional love of his wife and soulmate Jennie Washington Ratliff. He is survived by his loving wife, Jennie Ratliff of Lincoln; two sons, Jason Ratliff of Dover, and Tyler Washington of Milford; daughter, Nicole McGranaghan of Oregon; and two granddaughters, Alyssa and Kelly. He was preceded in death by his mother, Angelina Larusso Ratliff of New Jersey.
