Ralph Covitt, 90, died Saturday at Belmont Village. A native of Cleveland,

Building his own machinery, he located his first reconditioning plant at
2424 Duncan in 1937. He moved his business to the old Mengel property
on 4th Street near the University of Louisville after donating the land where
his first business was to the West End Boys Club. He remained there until
1984, when he sold his company to Queen City Barrel of Cincinnati, Ohio
and retired.
As president of Allied Drum Service, he was one of the leaders in the drum
reconstruction business in the country. A founding member of NABADA
(National Barrel and Drum Association), he was an outspoken man of strong opinion.
In 1953, he was appointed to the National Executive Committee, on which he served
for 20 years. In 1986, he was awarded honorary lifetime membership and a permanent
plaque in his honor was placed in the NABADA office in Washington, DC.
He did business worldwide and was instrumental in defending trade with Mexico as
far back as 1940, shipping barrels to Merida for the export of honey. His company was
featured in The Courier-Journal's Sunday Magazine on November 30, 1952, in the
article entitled "Tune Up for Drums" by Herman Landau and Barry Bingham Jr.
He was a member of The Temple, Standard Country Club, St. George Masonic Lodge,
Scottish Rite and Kosair Temple.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Hyman and Toba Itskovitz, immigrants who
fled the Romanian programs for America in the late 1890s. His parents settled in
Cleveland, Ohio. Ralph was always proud of them and their indomitable spirit.
When he offered to take his mother on a trip back to Romania, she replied, "I walked
halfway across Europe, from Romania to Rotterdam, to get here. Why would I even
want to go back. I love America."
He was also preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy.
He is survived by his son, Michael Covitt, and daughter-in-law, Robin, of
Crestwood; and a sister, Esther Kottler of Cleveland.
