Raymond Erhardt

Ray was a very careing person and the room would light up when he entered. I worked at WaL-Mart in the phote center and developed many rolls of film for him. I remember the first day I meet him. He came in and said "It looks like you need a Beer" I didn't know this person but he had a big smile on his face. I tried to tell him I didn't drink Beer. He said well you still need one anyway. And thats when he'd pull out of his pocket a Rootbeer barrel and gave to all that was working. From then on...

Jamie and family-
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you....May the memories and happy times you have of your father and husband replace the sorrow you feel in his absence. He was a talented man and will be missed by all who knew him.

Carla and family,
Though it is hard for us to understand why someone is taken from us. As there are no words to really ease the grief you feel. We hope the walk becomes more bearable knowing friends are there for you.
Ray will certianly be missed this hunting season and all year through.

Dear Anita & Family,

My heart goes out to all of you. Your Dad was the best and he always made my years in high school rodeo fun because he always had a smile and of course his camera. He shot great photos and especially the blooper ones. I saw him a couple years ago and he still remembered me and actually he came up to me. Caught me off guard. He will be missed by all. You are in my heart and prayers.

Dear Aunt Shirley, Shane, Carla, Anita, and Jamie

I am so sorry for your loss. I am so glad I was able to see Uncle Ray, Aunt Shirley and Shane when I visited a couple of weeks ago. My heart goes out to all of you and I know what you are all feeling. I am sorry I can't be there for the funeral. I am having a Mass said here in Vernal for Uncle Ray and will send the Mass card as soon as I receive it from our priest. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your niece, Mary

Dear Shirley and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We considered Ray a good friend. Always enjoyed visiting with him. We appreciate all he did as a photographer for the rodeos and treasure the photos he took of our kids. And we will never forget the very kind gesture after we lost our daughter, Michelle, and he dug through all his old files to print every single rodeo photo he had taken of her for us to keep. What a wonderful man. We pray God will give you all the strength,...

Shirley and family
Our sincere condolences to all of you. Ray was certainly a friend to everyone he met. He will be missed by everyone in the rodeo community. We are keeping you in our thoughts and and in our prayers.
