Raymond Huard Obituary
He is survived by his wife, Cyndy; his daughter, Bread; son-in-law, Randolf Rofuli; and grandchild, Willow Rofuli; sisters, Cindi, Debi and Linda; mom-in-law, Mer Villegas; sisters-in-law, Pinky and Gaygay; and brothers-in-law, Jay, John, Arthur and Ben Jr.
A memorial service will be Saturday at 10 a.m. at Legacy Funeral Homes Bragaw Chapel.
Ray was a longtime resident of Alaska, coming up with his parents in 1958, a year before statehood. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and downhill skiing during the winter.
After college, Ray found a career in selling insurance and at age 29 met his first wife, Sue. A few months later, they were joined in a marriage that lasted 18 years.
A year after his divorce, he married Cyndy Diaz Villegas. He would ofttimes make the comment that he went through 18 years of difficulties, resentments and sorrows in his first marriage, but every day in his second marriage was what God meant when he used the term "happiness." The difference, Ray said, "was more extreme than day and night."
Ray's time on Earth is over and he looks forward to meeting up with his mom and dad along with his longtime friend and mentor, Jack E. Lane. Ray hoped that there is some good fishing for him and his dad to enjoy up in heaven.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Legacy Funeral Homes Bragaw Chapel.

thinking about Ray and his wife Cyndy today. You two were the love of eachother's lives. It showed right up to the last day's in the hospital where Cyndy would whisper in Ray's ear if there was anything she could do for him, and Ray would just kiss her over and over on her cheek. Your love for eachother is what got you through the hard times, and helped you celebrate during the good times. You were best friends and it showed. Hang in there Cyndy and know that Ray's spirit is still right by your side helping you through the hard times, and celebrating the good times.

Hi Bro
I had one entry, but it didn't post.
I really miss just knowing that you would be at the other end of the line when I called your house. That burns. You were the sweetest brother ever and I am still wiping tears away. You re-inforced in me my belief to never take anyone for granted and always let people know you love them. I miss you a lot.
Love you

My memories of Ray are very percious to me. Ray was such a big part of my life for the 18 years he was married to my daughter Sue. He remained a part of our lives with frequent calls,sharing how his life was changing and how he was feeling. I'm glad I remained a friend after being the Mother-in -law. My heart goes out to his beloved sister and best friend Cindi. Cindi donated a kidney several years ago to Ray and was in flight to see him when he passed. My thoughts go out to his present family.

Ray, one more thing before I quit "nagging" you and truly let you rest in peace.. lol. I'm thinking about all the wonderful holidays we spent with our families and how my Mom would have a 20 course meal hot and ready all at the same time... I always said "Only God knows how she does it." Well, if you could find out and somehow touch me with some of that magic, I'd really appreciate it, I'm still having trouble keeping three things hot at the same time, I can use all the help I can get.. lol. Thanks for always making me smile with all the silly things you do and this will be the last one I ask. You are always in my heart.

Ray, we had so many wonderful years and the memories are flowing. Spending the summers on the Russian River, traveling out of the country and throughout the lower 48 and all the trips to Hawaii, especially the one when you and Danny went scuba diving after learning how in the Alaskan winter waters (BURR) spring to mind. I think my favorite was when we took Mom on a road trip to the interior and took the boat back through the Inside Passage, we all had such a great time leisurely making our way without a care in the world. Give Mom a hug and kiss for me, I know she greeted you with a loving hug, she was the most huggingist person I've ever met. You have a loving and gentle soul, always have, and I know your faith in God is what kept you going so long, that and your sister Cindi's undying love for you to do anything like donating her kidney to give you several more years with us. I truly miss you and not being able to pick up the phone to call you is a major void in my heart. I cried the last time I talked to you and you called me "kid" like you always did, I guess cuz I knew it would be the last time I was going to hear you say it. I miss the way you used to rub my head until I would fall asleep every night. My only comfort is knowing that you are out of pain now and in heaven where I hope to see you again someday. Hug and kiss all our "babies" for me, I hope they were there to greet you also. I'm sorry it took so long for me to pay my respects to you here but doing so is making it final and it hurts. You taught me a few very valuable things in life and the one I use the most is "The worst that can happen is that I'll be told NO". Thank you for that and for always being there for me, always! I love you, you know that, and I will miss my "Tweety" dearly. You will always have a place in my heart. Rest In Peace Ray.

I will miss my beloved brother and our multiple daily talks with all my heart. With the support of the kidney I gave him, he lived another seven years. I only wish I could have saved him again this time. I love you and will forever and always miss you my brother.

I heard so much about Cyndy and Ray from your neighbors Bob and Janet. I am Janet's Mom and I want to express my deepest sympathy to all the family. In His time, God will give you comfort and peace to continue on because you are His child and he loves you dearly.
