Born on August 1, 1942, Ray lived a life rooted in faith, family, service, and friendship. He was the oldest of 6 and left behind Charlie (Judy), Mary (Bill), Tom (Sharon) and Cindy (Bill), but now joins his sister Sandy (Bill). He was the devoted husband of Kathy Migneco (Keary) with whom he shared a lifetime of love, partnership and cherished memories for 62 years.
Ray was a proud and loving father to Lisa (spouse Keith Piotter), Jeff, Sharon (spouse Tim Brown), Diane, and Patti (spouse Kevin Haberberger). His family was his greatest joy, and he took immense pride in the accomplishments and happiness of his children, 14 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. Nothing meant more to him than spending time with those he loved, whether at family gatherings, lake vacations, or simply enjoying each other's company.
A man of deep faith, Ray was dedicated to serving his church and community throughout his life. He generously gave his time and talents to help others, never seeking recognition but always willing to lend a hand where it was needed. His quiet acts of kindness and commitment to service left a lasting impact on many lives.
Ray found great enjoyment in bowling, fishing, golfing, and following sports. These lifelong passions provided many happy moments and opportunities to share time with family and friends. Whether on the golf course, at the bowling alley, on the water, or cheering for the Cardinals & Blues, Ray embraced life's simple pleasures with gratitude.
Above all, Ray will be remembered for the fierce and unique love he shared, the values he lived by, and the example he set through a life of faith, service, and devotion to family & friends. Those who knew Ray will remember his sharp wit and humor, but also his quiet strength. He possessed a steady presence that brought comfort and confidence to all who knew him. Though often reserved, his wisdom, integrity and dependability spoke volumes.His legacy lives on in the hearts of his beloved wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and the many friends whose lives were enriched by knowing him.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
May he rest in eternal peace.
