Ray Gould Obituary

Ray Gould

On July 27, 2019 Ramon (Ray) John Gould passed on to join his beloved high school sweetheart and wife of 67 years, Susan Gould. To his three children, Kevin, Meredith, and LeaAnn, he was an incredibly caring and active Father - simply the best.

A mechanical engineer by training, his true passion was fly fishing and building bamboo fly rods, authoring three books on the subject. Civic involvement was a hallmark of his life, serving on the Edmonds City Council, Sound Transit Citizen Oversight Panel, the Rotary Clubs of Lynnwood and Alderwood, and the Northwest Fly Anglers Club, to name a few.

Services will be held Saturday, August 10th at 11:00 at Edmonds United Methodist Church.

Dear LeaAnn,

I just heard about the passing of your dear dad, and that your mom proceeded him. I am so very sorry for this enormous loss. I know how much you loved your parents and the thought of them both being gone seems a little overwhelming.

I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend the service tomorrow, but wanted you to know that I'm thinking of and praying for you.

Sending much love,

Allison (Hall) Nelson
