Ray Rockafellow, 79, passed away at his Frederick, CO home on October 31, 2019. He was preceded in death by Judy, his wife of 58 years. Ray was a firefighter for 7 years in Rapid City, but spent most of his adult life with his family in Boulder, CO. There, he worked at Boulder-Denver Truck line, managed The Broken Drum Tavern and opened Ray’s Pub (1982-1996). He was an avid CU fan, holding football season tickets for 27 years.
