Raymond T. "Ray" Charles

Where do I begin? Ray and I met at the Wisconsin State Patrol Academy in 1968. Immediately we hit it off...both of us had biting wits and we laughed at and with each other. After the Academy, we visited Ray and his family in Menomonie for many BBQ's. I will always remember his genorosity and sense of humor. R.I.P. Brother...

I still think of Ray in the fall. he brought me many trophies to measure, and many thing to remember him by.

Ray and I attended the Wisconsin State Patrol Academy in 1968. He was the funniest guy I have ever known. He was special. RIP my friend...

Very sorry to hear of Ray's passing, he had much to give.
Knew Ray while I served as Chief in Kimberly. We did a few bow hunting excursions with little success. He also lined me up for an exciting flight with the air patrol.
He will be missed.
My condolences to the family in their time of sorrow.

So sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. May you get the strength and comfort you need during this difficult time. 2 Cor 1:3

Bill, I used to be your babysitter when you were pre school. I was Elaine Van Hammond then. I actually had a date with your dad about 40 years ago. I still laugh about it because it was the most disastrous date I ever was on. I really liked your dad though. He was a great guy!
