Raymond Feldman Obituary
He was born on March 31, 1941, in Erie, a son of the late Raymond C. Feldman and Josephine (Bauer) Feldman-Uscinski.
Ray graduated from Strong Vincent High School in 1959. Following high school, he immediately enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he served aboard the U.S.S. Boston (CAG-1), a Baltimore class heavy cruiser, as a Radar Man. He was aboard this ship during and participated in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
He returned home to Erie, following his honorable discharge from the Navy, and began employment at Parker White Metal (now PHB Die Casting) in Fairview where he worked for thirty years as a Time Study Engineer.
Following his retirement, he continued work as a self-employed contractor. Ray was known for his meticulous and professional abilities within the trade.
He was a member of the Girard American Legion Post #494, and volunteered at the Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center as a driver for the Disabled Veterans for 20 years.
Ray enjoyed bowling, playing poker, and had a passion for classic cars. He was especially fond of his 1975 Monte Carlo, which he restored himself. When he was younger, he also enjoyed drag racing at Lucky's Drag Strip in Wattsburg.
He loved hockey, and was a dedicated Philadelphia Flyers fan. He looked forward to deer hunting, especially archery, and was always searching for "Big Dad."
He will be greatly missed by his family, which includes, Joan (Krystek) Feldman; two daughters, Dianne Swartwood (Adam) and Debra Baumann (Don); a son, Jeffrey Feldmann (Beth); two sisters, Valerie Dixon (and son Kevin) and Carole Miczo; four brothers, Chet Uscinski, Dan Feldmann, Rodney Feldmann and Greg Feldmann; his grandchildren, Zack Feldmann, Tayler Swartwood, Danielle Baumann, and Austin Baumann; and several nieces and nephews.

Dear Dad, I have had 4 years now to reflect and process the absence of lost time without you in our lives. I know your in Heaven and you are living your best life now but it doesn't help me here on earth living my life. I don't want to sound selfish or anything but I miss everything about what we had previously shared or accomplished in our lives. I love the time and memories we had but I always wished for more! I miss sharing life and father and son time! I am trying to keep up your traditions and legacy but I miss the real deal! I miss your voice, the visual, creating new memories, bonding, knowing your a phone call or a short drive away. I miss it all! I just pray I can join you in Heaven someday soon and can continue our journey in life together as a family as my best friend as my dad! I am still heartbroken to this day and would love a hug and a few words with my dad. I miss the relationship that I had with my dad and now four years of silence is a hard aspect of life to not be able to experience and enjoy anymore! I love you very much dad and can't wait to see you again! Hopefully some day you can come visit me in a dream or a vision or I can hear your voice in the wind? Missing you big time! Love your son Jeff...

Hello dad, it now has been 3 years since our Lord swept you away to Heaven. I wasn't ready for you to go! I know you are healed and in a better place but I miss our times together and sharing life and making more memories. I'm so sorry you had to go and I know you wanted to stay a bit longer and I wish you could have stayed. I still miss you every single day dad. I still cry. I still feel somewhat lost without your presence. My heart still holds you close and I somehow I make it through each day. To this day it is still a hard and sad and lonely road without you here. I wish things could be different. I wish you were here dad. I miss you so so much! I love you so so much! Thank you for everything dad and I hope you always knew how proud i am of all of your accomplishments and I owe you a ton of gratitude and respect for all the things you did for the family. Thank you dad ! Your the best! Looking forward to Seeing you again someday soon! Father and son forever!

It has now been two years since I have been able to see him or hear my dad's voice. I wish he was still here to share life with. I miss everything about my dad everyday. I wish there was a better way to stay in touch. I guess I will have to navigate through life the best I can with his pictures and memories. I just want to say that " I love you dad" and I'm here for you and I hope to see you someday soon. Wink and a smile!

Dad it has been 1 year since I have physically seen or talked to you, it has been a very sad and lonely year without my father. I understand this is how life is or goes for all of us but I feel he is in heaven and that the Lord and my dad are always with us but I miss our earthly relationship and sharing life together. I talk to him everyday and carry his picture but it doesn't fill the void. I wish things were different but
There not and I must move forward, it is still very difficult for me because my father was a huge part of my life. I'm trying to be strong but my love for my father runs very deep and his loss in my life will always be a challenge. I am very blessed to have shared 58 years with my dad and have all those memories. I just always hoped he would pass at an older age and fall asleep in his rocking chair listening to the movie "Titanic". I miss you and love you so much dad! See you someday soon in Heaven!

Ray was a friendly face around the VA hospital. He would always stop to chat and seemed to be at the ballpark every time I saw the seawolves. Rest in peace my friend

I have many fond memories of my cousin. Back in the early days at his dad's hunting camp. After we both got out of the Navy riding our motorcycles. When I should have bought his little hot rod coupe for $500. How I was a little Jealous when he married one of the most beautiful girls in Erie. The time he helped me take the 3 deuce's off my 55 ford (dumb) to get better gas mileage. And the last time I saw him at the Albion Fair ! Rest in peace Shipmate ! Mike
