RAYMOND J. HOVEY

He was truly the "Man For All Seasons". Our beloved Raymond, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, and uncle to many nieces and nephews, answered the call from Heaven, after 92 years of a full and productive life. In addition to his large and loving family, he will be missed by a legion of friends who were so much a part of his long life. Ray was born in Fresno to the late Armen and Almas Hovey, and raised in Los Angeles, CA, where his enterprising spirit saw great success in the automobile business. Along with thriving dealerships in Gardena, CA, and Corona, CA, he served as President of the LOSOR Chevrolet Dealers' Association. Following military service in World War II as a Military Police Corps in the European theater, Ray returned to Los Angeles to marry Alice Thomasian, the one and only love of his life. An avid golfer, Ray was a 51 year member of Bel Air Country Club, and a 70 year member of Triple X Fraternity, in which he served as a Grand Master. The Hovey family deeply appreciates and thanks the Companion Hospice, for the excellent care and comfort provided to Ray in his final days. Ray is survived by his wife Alice; grateful children, Christine Rae Hallaian and her husband Frank, and Gary Allen Hovey and his wife Sandra; grandchildren, Christian Jon Hallaian and his wife Lauren, Chelsea Bleue Gallucci and her husband Nick, and Kash and Nevada Hovey; great-grandson, Harrison Jon Hallaian; sister, MaryJane Franklin; and sister-in-law, Flo Snyder Speck. A Private Funeral Service was held. Remembrances may be made in Ray's memory to St. James Armenian Church, 4950 W. Slauson Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90056; or to the Ararat Home, 15105 Mission Hills Rd., Mission Hills, CA 91345.
