Ray Harle

Harle, Ray
69, passed away peacefully at his home at 9209 N. 66th Dr. Glendale, AZ 85302 on April 13th, 2011. Ray donated his body to science in order to benefit research and will be cremated thereafter. Ray was born in Peoria, Illinois on November 10th 1941 to Lester & Charlotte Couch. He was a chef for over 40 years and managed many restaurants in the Illinois Valley. He moved to Arizona 20 years ago and retired at 59 years old, spending the last 10 years enjoying life and time with his family. Among many things, Ray enjoyed riding Harley's, fishing, playing poker and bingo. In the past few years, he realized his dream of catching a Marlin off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with his 2 sons. Those that knew him will always remember his one-of-a-kind personality and unique sense of humor. He is survived by his Mother Charlotte, wife Debbie, two sons, Jesse and Lynn, three Granddaughters, Shauna, Megan, Camryn and daughter-in-laws, Cherlynn and Tana Harle. In lieu of services, the family is planning a party to celebrate his life, which we know would "make Pappy happy"! We will always love and miss you Dad.
