He was born Aug. 30, 1927 in Camden, N.Y. a son of Walter and Edna Miller Breeze. Ray served his country with the U.S. Army first during WWII from 1945-46 and again during the Korean War from 1950-52. Between the wars, Ray built many houses with his father in the Camden and surrounding areas.

On May 16, 1952 he married the former Winifred Coltson in Camden, N.Y.

He retired from the Camden Wire Co. in 1991 after 40 years, 15 years as a mechanic and the later 25 years as a foreman. His passion and hobby was working in the woods as he provided for his household and others. He especially enjoyed the time he spent raising and nurturing his several Norwegian Elk Hounds throughout the years. Ray was also a life-time member and former trustee of the United Methodist Church, Camden, N.Y. where he also served as head usher for several years.

Ray is survived by his wife, Winnie and their five children, Linda and John Grant, Joan Dunn, all of Camden, Stephen and Dorcus Dunn, Florence, N.Y., LeRoy and Pamula Dunn, USN Retired, Norfolk, Va., Cindy Moses, Ft. Myers, Fla.; nine grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren; a half-sister, Carol Sykes; a half-brother, Howard Breeze and several nieces and nephews. Ray was predeceased by a sister, Esther Wentworth and two brothers, Russell and Ronald Dunn.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc., New Hartford, N.Y. for their services during this difficult time.
