Ralph Binder (deceased)Joy Wolf (former wife) and two sonsLos Angeles, CARalph Binder, Emmy-winning ABC News cameraman, was killed when the roof of his GM Suburban caved in during an accident.Ralph Binder, a loving father to two young boys, was a news cameraman who worked almost exclusively for ABC News.

Over the years, he covered everything from thePresident and the White House to California Wildfires. A three time Emmy award winner, Ralph was an integral part of major network news coverage for the last 30 years.On December 6, 2007, Ralph, driving with soundman Daniel Johnson, were on their way to cover a story in Nebraska, when his GM Chevy Suburban swerved on an icy road. Thecar rolled 12 times. By the time it came to a stop, the roof had crushed in on thedrivers' side, killing Ralph, in what should have been a benign crash. At the time the 1998 Suburban was built, other roof designs were readily and inexpensively available that would have saved Ralph's life. Ralph was married to Joy Wolf, a renowned photojournalist, ABC News freelanceproducer and writer. To try to cover Ralph's love, guidance and all the things he did for and with his two young sons, and their devastating loss, would take pages and pages of details.
