Raymond Charles Overy

10/8/1940-6/2/2017

Raymond C. Overy, age 76, of Perrysburg, passed away on June 2, 2017 at St. Luke's Hospital. He was born on October 8, 1940 in Toledo, Ohio to Earl Overy and Cecilia (Brainard) Overy. He attended Immaculate Conception Grade School and graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1958. He served his country joining the US Air Force and married Dorothy M. Bernritter in June of 1962. He began his career in the automotive industry becoming a tool and die maker at City Machine and Tool. He retired from the Ford Automotive Stamping plant in Maumee. Ray spent a lot of his time coaching, and ensuring that kids had the opportunity to play sports. Ray was integral in managing the equipment needs of all the sports programs at OLPH, years after his kids had grown and moved on to high school. Ray was very active in his parish and always willing to lend a helping hand. He never failed to support his children whether it be a dance recital, baseball, football, softball, basketball, cheerleading, band or choir concerts. After retiring Ray began a new phase in his life supporting all his grandkids as they played, sang and danced their way through school. He could always be counted on for a ride whether it be to the local fields in town, traveling to Cooperstown, Florida or any field or stadium near or far.

Ray's life revolved around his family. He enjoyed traveling with his wife, Dorothy and enjoyed trips to Alaska, Hawaii and San Francisco. Ray was an avid bowler and sometimes participated in 5 leagues in one season. Ray will always be remembered as the sideline supporter and someone you could go to whenever you needed to talk or get some advice.

Ray is survived by sons, Jeffrey (Doreen) Overy, Kevin (Julie) Overy; daughters, Cathlene (Todd) Giesige, and Cristine (Dennis) Schmenk; grandchildren, Ryan (Jamie) Overy, Breck (Mason) Smith, Blake (Jessica) Schmenk, Alec (Morgan) Schmenk, Dalton Giesige, Devon Giesige, Logan Giesige, Austin Overy, Amanda, Overy, Brandi Overy; great-grandchildren, Carter Loss, Brantley Schmenk, Audrey Samson; sister, Peggy Brochu; brother-in-law, Al Grindle and many other friends and extended family.
