I just found out about Ray's passing. We all probably run the emotional gamut at times like this--at least I did. My friendship with him began in 1954. We were attending what was then called Wisconsin State Teachers College. He, Don Gemoll and I probably spent more time playing Sheepshead than we did in class. We decided to enlist in the army under the "buddy system". Ray always accused me of talking he and Don into it.
I have thought of him often. We shared some very personal things with each other. I loved his sense of humor, his determination to accomplish what he set out to do, his toughness and yet his kindness. He will be missed, by many.
Sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I always enjoyed the time we spent around the sheepshead table when we both worked at Krause.
He was truly one of those rare people, a born salesman.

Very sad to hear of Ray passing away. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family in this very sad time. Hold on to all of the good memories and they will help you get through each day.
Sue Konkel
It was a sad day when we heard about Ray's passing. He was a true friend for over 50 years including our days in the army. I'm so glad that my wife and I were able to visit and stay with Ray and Sue in Florida a couple of years ago. We'll miss you Ray. Bob and Jane Moody
Sue, He truly was a good friend and very generous person. All Of the work and joy he put into our annual gatherings will surely be missed. I sincerely believe that his efforts,
on our behalf, to arrange the reunions kept him going in spite of his health. We will keep you and the family in our thoughts and prayers.
Richard & Sylvia Sanders
My deepest condolences to Ray's family especially his wife Sue and his children. May his soul rest in peace!
We are so very sorry to hear that Ray has passed. Sue and family, you have our sincerest sympathy. I though about him last evening, when the Wisconsin football game was on. He enjoyed teasing us about Ohio State. He will truly be missed by us. Sue, you are in our thoughts and prayers, and your family. No matter if we know it is going to happen, it is still a hard thing to lose someone dear to your heart. Just know that he is in a good place and rooting on Wisconsin, and the Packers! I was his "Angel" and we worked very well together. Your Briar Creek friends, Jim & Mary Kay
