Ray Fleischer Obituary
Ray lived his commitment to community by serving as President of the of the Skokie School Board 73 ½, Niles Township High School Board 219, and the Skokie Park District Board. He was founder and vice president of McNally Park Little League, a board member of Y-Me Breast Cancer, and a tireless worker for Jewish causes including Israel Bonds and the Niles Township Jewish Congregation where he held numerous leadership roles over 60 years.
Ray will be remembered for his quick wit, humor and unique pun-manship. His eye-rolling one-liners will live on through generations in what forever will be affectionately and lovingly known as "such a grandpa joke."
