Raymond B. Farmer

Dear Farmer Family,
I know many who think about Ray think about his activity with soccer, and for my family, his coaching was very special to us. My grandson, Jordan was coached by him for a few years, and I remember him and being not only a great coach but also a great person. He was a fine example of someone kids could look up to and not just to learn the game of soccer but to learn how to be treated with kindness and respect. He touched so many people's lives and each one that he did,...

Dear Michael, Amy and Steven,
I am so sorry to learn of your father's death. Your father was so proud
of all of you and I hope the good memories you have of him, and his love for you, will help you get through these difficult days. I always appreciated the sincere kindness he extended to me and Lindsay.
Your are in my prayers,
Shirley Blair Berg

There are so many good friends of the Farmer Family who are mourning this loss. We will remember Ray as a vibrant and fun friend who took pride in serving his community. Our deepest condolences to Ray's family, Bob, Mimi and Mr. Farmer.

I went to Nursery School with Ray at Plymouth Church and we lived on Chabourne Road together. So we went through school all the way. Ray was a total class act and there won't be any dispute to that. Great person, incredible athlete, a real team leader on and off the field. A wonderful role model, Ray will be terribly missed by all.

To the Farmer Family,
I was sorry to hear of your loss. I met Ray many years ago when I and my children were playing soccer. I am very appreciative of all his hard work and efforts to help establish a strong soccer program here in the Akron area. Please accept my condolences for your loss and know that his work is appreciated.

Steven & Family;
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with all of you as you grieve the passing of your loved one. Find peace in the memories.

Ray, You will be greatly missed!!

I was one of Ray's teammates on both the JV and varsity soccer teams at Shaker High; Ray was our goalie. He was an incredibly hard worker, he led by example, and he was fearless. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Farmer family.

I knew Ray from Rho Phi chapter of FIJI at Rose Hulman. I was very sad to hear of Ray's passing. He was a good leader, good fraternity brother, and good man. Our thoughts are with Ray's family at this difficult time.
