Raymond Dziak Obituary

Raymond Dziak

March 15, 1935 - July 8, 2024

On July 8th Ray Dziak lost his 14 year battle with cancer at the age of 89.

Ray always had a story to tell. His stories were always humorous, told with exuberance and, of course, embellishments. Ray was hard working, generous and willing to help anyone anytime they asked. Everyone who knew Ray counted him as a friend.

Ray is survived by his wife Carol of 67 years; three children; four grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

His family finds comfort in knowing he's in a better place, and has no more pain.

Ray did not wish to have a memorial service. His family suggests if you wish to honor him, please make a donation in his name to The American Cancer Society.

We miss you terribly Poppy.
