RHEA, Leon 'Ray'
Was born in Cuba, NM on January 21, 1933 and passed away on May 14, 2014 in Roseville, CA.

Ray loved our country and proudly served the U.S. Navy for over 20 years and went on to serve the San Diego City Schools before moving to the Bitterroot Valley, MT. Ray spent his final years in Granite Bay, CA enjoying time with his family, including his granddaughter, Carly and great grandchildren, Avery, Cruz and Maximus.

Dear Ray's Family,
I had the privilege of working with Ray at Ross Elementary in San Diego during the early 90's. My job required me to be in his work office often and Ray was always pleasant and helpful to me, such a nice guy! A few years after retirement, he came back for a visit and looked 10 years younger, so happy, rested, and loving Montana. I'm so glad he enjoyed his last years with the family he loved.
