Ray BERGDAHL Obituary

In Loving Memory Born 10/13/45 and departed on 11/11/23, following an illness. Ray was a proud Vietnam veteran and member of Insulators Local 34. He is preceded in death by his parents Ernest and Corinne Bergdahl and his son Joseph James Bergdahl. He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Monica; his children, Joseph Paul (Joanna), Jason (Jessica) and Angela (Robb); his grandchildren, Afton, Anthony, Roman, Dewey, Julia, Sophia, Gabriella, Gavin and Gage; his sister, Marlene Kearns (Max) and his brother, Jerry. At his request, a Celebration of Life will be held for Ray on January 19th at 5:00p.m. at the North Saint Paul VFW at 2483 7th Ave. E. His laugh could fill a room and his love filled our hearts. He will be greatly missed.
