Ray L. Ronning

Wow it's a year later and I still think about you all the time.We are having a party in your name tomorrow and we will party like we know you would!!!!HARD!!!

Wow, yesterday was quite a day. We really sent Ray off in style, thanks to Heather & her family, Salem Church, and to all of Ray's friends & family. Ray would have enjoyed everyone's speaking and the musical performances, everyone's words were incredible and poignant. Our hearts are still broken and it still feels like time has stood still since March 17th, but the last couple of days have helped immensely.

Ray was a perfect fit in any crowd. The friends who gathered at his service were a testament to that.
Thank you Heather, for putting on such a fitting farewell.

This is so surreal. Wake me when it's over.

Our thoughts and sympathy are with Ray's memory and family.

Whenever someone said "Ray's here!" it usually meant the party was about to be called to (dis)order and the fun would ratchet up a notch or three. I always had a great time when Ray was around, and his presence loomed as large as the hole left by his passing.

I know this: Ray was enormously proud of "his girls," and there's no doubt his last thought could only have been about how much he loved Heather and Amelia. With you both, we will all miss Ray. We was robbed. Ray was one of a...

Heather,
We are so sorry to learn about your loss. We enjoyed Ray's playful spirit at family gatherings where we could see how much he loved you and Amelia.
We love you.

I remember ray and I miss him he was a great friend.Everyday that we saw each other at work he would always say "Hey hows it going?" He was a the type of friend you can truly trust.You were a great man ray and I will miss you always.
To rays family, sorry for your loss you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Heather and Amelia,
We're so sad to think of Ray gone, and we're just glad to say that we knew him and considered him a friend. We have so many memories of Ray over the years, but none quite as poignant as seeing the three of you as a family. Help Amelia remember her Momma-Daddy, and keep these rememberances of Ray so she will know just how much he was loved, and how much he loved you. Our love to you both, and our prayers are with you.

RAY-MONDO!!

You will deeply be missed by many.

I've always known Ray to be a pretty hillarious guy and have always thought of him as that until I saw him with his daughter.
I thought "what a big softy!"
Not only was he hillarious, he was a proud father and husband.

We'll miss you Raymondo
