Ray graduated from Flatville grade school and Rantoul Township High School class of 1967. He was a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, where he served on church council, was a Luther League sponsor and enjoyed serving as an usher.
His interests included attending his granddaughters' events, camping, spending time with the family and friends, buying and selling farm equipment, and his passion and love of farming.
Ray and his family wish to express their gratitude for the care and support shown to them by everyone at Christie Clinic, Presence Hospice staff and his wonderful caregivers, Carleen and Jodi, whom the family could not have done without.
