Raymond Hakala

I was lucky to have him as my dad. His humor, kindness, intelligence, work ethic and likeability live on in the hearts, memories and behaviors of those who knew him. May his memory be for a blessing.

Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fun memories of Ray from Palm Creek cribbage and lawn bowling. He was a good man.

Dear Mary, Ray was a sweetheart of a man and we are so sorry for your loss. We have missed you here at P. C. Jane & Howard Dinsmore

I'm very sorry for your loss. We have many fond childhood memories of your family. My prayers are with you.

Ray was a super guy. I worked for him at Woodward and took him and a couple other great guys, Bob Alloway and Ed VanBarriger, on a Canadian fly-in fishing trip. What a great memory and priviledge. Ray was a kind and very caring man. May God Bless your family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your Family. Uncle Ray showed his true Spirit by helping others. I am proud to be named after Him. God Bless from the Elgas Family.

Dear Mary:
It has been my pleasure to have met you and Ray at Crimson Pointe and a priviledge to be able to administer Communion to both of you. Mary, you have been a strong, courageous, compassionate care-giver and loving wife. I saw in Ray's eyes his devotion and love for you. May God bless you during this difficult time. Cherish the memories.

When I think of dad (BaBa), I think of a caring, kind man who would go the extra mile for all family and friends. I smile when thinking about his business cards after retirement that had the tag line "Everybody loves Ray" because it was so true. Wishing you all the fondest of memories of a great man.
