    Linda and family, So sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. He always had a smile on his face and was always so kind to our little kids in Early Childhood when he worked at Paper jack School. I can remember him letting one of the little boys help him sweep. Keeping each of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

    Great guy and always a smile. He will be missed.

  • dawn ferguson Posted August 22, 2024 3:52 am

    I can’t begin to tell everyone of his family members how sorry I am. Ray like many, had his moments, but he was a great guy. always willing to help anyone out and would have given you the shirt off his back. yes, he loved his coffee, even after his house blew up, all he wanted was his cup of coffee. He will be forever missed, but the memories we all share have will last a lifetime. Rest easy Ray.

    Ray was committed to, and loved Linda and his children very much. Many times Ray put their needs before his own. He was a great addition to the Barger clan. Ray had a humorous point of view or a ‘common man’s’ comment at Linda’s family gatherings. He wasn’t just a brother-in-law, but a friend and uncle to the Bargers. Al and I will always remember our last visit, as we, Ray and Linda walked the trails of Willow River State Park doing what he loved: being with family and being out in nature. Ray’s laugh, smile and conversation around a cup of coffee or a plate of bacon will be missed. Rest peacefully, Ray. Terry and Al Bentley
