Grandpa there isn't a day that goes by that I don't cry thinking about you because as much as I screwed up you never lost your faith in me as many others did and I want you to know where ever you are in heaven i know your happy with grandma Doris and I know you are watching over my little brother Timothy Bronner who was also taken from my life too soon and I will continue to keep faith because you always had faith in me because you never saw me graduate high school or graduate from Westover Job Corps with my OSHA 10 card and a preapprentice plumbing certification but I always know you are watching over me and I thank you for all you've done for me. I love you grandpa

Uncle Ray, better known as Raymond to "the sisters" and his Mother, was living with my parents and my grandmother when I was born. So, he was a part of my life from the beginning. My middle name is Rae after him and my granddaughter Jessica has the middle name Rae. My first remembrance of Uncle Ray was told to me, but in the back of my mind I hear the bells. I was 3 or 4 and we were living on Cleveland Ave. in Hobart, IN. It was Christmas Eve and my father was working and Uncle Ray came by to visit with my Mother and Aunt Mary (who lived with us) and I was in the bedroom facing the front porch waiting for Santa and would not go to sleep. He went out on the porch and rang some bells at the window and within minutes I was a sleep. So, if I remember the bells do I remember him? Yes, I think so. When Uncle Ray was in the Air Force it was always a big deal when Raymond came home on leave....family dinners and get togethers at Grandmother Erwin's house on 3rd St. in Hobart. Pictures of him with all his nieces and nephews and with his Mother and "the sisters". I am so glad all those pictures were taken, I have pictures of all my cousins and aunts that might not have been taken if Uncle Ray hadn't been so special. I never eat a piece of chocolate fudge without thinking of Uncle Ray. The sisters" would send care packages to him and my mother was in charge of the fudge, the kind you beat until you arm falls off, and she made the best fudge ever.....when it was going to Uncle Ray. When she made it for our family it would be grainy or runny or something, never really, really good like when she made it for "her" Raymond, so after a while my Dad would say, "Clara, pretend youre sending it to Raymond". During the Korean War we would watch the news every night and follow Uncle Ray on a map Dad had cut out of the paper. Our family was always very proud of his rise in the ranks of the enlisted. As time went on, he married Doris and brought her and the boys to visit. The dinners and get togethers went on. I have pictures of his boys and Doris that might not have been taken, again, if he wasn't so special. Uncle Ray and I had this "bond" of sorts. We were the only Catholics in the family and he was my daughter, Traci's, Godfather. We talked to each other about our kids and what was going on in the Goff Family there in Hobart. I will miss him and his never ending e-mail jokes. Bob and I got to meet Fran when they came to Jacksonville to see my Mother. We all had a really good time with them and it was so good for Mother to see him again. I believe she died happy knowing he was doing well. In the last couple of years Bob and I had been able to spend some time with Uncle Ray. We spent a few days in IN with him and Michelle. We went to Brickie Bowl to see where he played football in high school, went past his house on 3rd St. We drove around and looked at long forgotten places and Michelle got to see where her Dad grew up. Last spring we were in Virginia for Felicia's high school graduation. That was a trip I am very glad we took. So many nice things came from it, first I got to see Uncle Ray for the last time and I've got to tell you, he looked great, the same good looking uncle I remembered as a young girl. I got to see Annette, who I can't remember the last time I saw, and her son Norman. We got to see Ross's car and meet his parents. I can see where Uncle Ray's admiration of Ross came from...he was so proud of his achievements. As I write this, Michelle is on her way to UMass for her college graduation, how I wish Uncle Ray was there with her to tell here "job well done". To Fran and all his children and grandchildren, I wish you peace and love.

Michelle, I heard about your Dad, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope it was quick and painless. We sure had a nice time visiting and getting to know him when he visited you and Bull at Langley. He sure had a love for and inspiring stories about the military - he'll be missed. Thank you for sharing him when he was here. Our prayers are with you!

My heart goes out to the family. I am sorry for your loss and your sorrow, but he is in a better place free from pain. He will never be forgotten. I wish you all the best in your future years. I will always remember the times in the pool and the laughter we all shared. Time goes by and we all get older and have families of our own. The time when we were young is precious you can see, it has made us all that we can be. Remember the better days when time seemed to stand still... Carry it in your heart and it shall never part. All my love to you, those old and new. We must all say goodbye this sad day and shead a tear in rememberance of him. Love never ends and is bound for eternity. Look up to the heavens and rejoice, another has found his way home....

Michelle & Family, Some of my most foundest memories will always be hanging out and swimming in the pool, where Michelle taught me to do back flips off the diving board and her dad would holler out to us we were going to get hurt! He was always such a nice man who always had a kind word. Even as I got older, when I would return home to visit, he always remembered me when we would meet in passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

I considered Ray a dear friend during High School. With many mutual friends, we were the best. After HSW we went our separate ways, I to the Navy and he to the AF. Sorrly to say, we didn't have much of chance while in service. Was very glad to see him at our class reunions. A really nice guy.

As a classmate, I went to school all 12 years with Ray. I considered him as a good friend, although I didn't see him much in later years. He did e-mail me almost every day. I will miss him.

Ray was a wonderful man. He guided me to a Real Estate career that has been amazing. Having Ray by my side each day made my life easier. Just knowing I had his support and guidance enabled me to handle all the struggles Realtors have. I will miss my Ray. He was my partner and my friend. I loved him dearly. Thank you Fran for sharing your husband with me and my family. Ray loved you dearly.

Ray and I were neighbors in Hobart from 1st grade on. After graduation, we didn't know what we wanted to do. Truman was drafting for the Army, so we decided to go in to the Air Force. We had some great times together growing up. I will never forget myf friend. My condolences to the extended family.

Dearest Ray, I'll never forget your kindness. Your were such a great man, although I only met you once. Ill miss you. I met Raymond, when I went to Massachusetts to visit with his granddaughter Felicia. When we went to his house, he pulled me into the backyard and just talked to me. I remember he made a joke about the "darn bears" that would wander into his backyard. Haha. He had such a great sense of humor. Were all missing you terribly sir, your in a better place now. I hope we meet again one day.

It was the summer of 1970 when I meet the Goff family. I was seeing their son Tommy, while he was station at the Cape. Anyways, one night I was home alone in the kitchen when something flew into my head. After diving under the kitchen table I finally came out to see a bat on the wall. I called Mr Goff up and he said he would be right down. (it was well after 9pm) Mr Goff and Raymond came and found the bat, on my bed pillow no less, and got it out of the house. On that night Mr Goff became my hero and I have never forgot the kindness him and family showed me. Thank You.

I have memories of a patient and fun man that would fish with me and my Dad---the smiles on his sisters' faces when he would visit or even the anticipation of a visit. Always an upbeat, gentle person who made you feel important by the time and attention that was given when needed. We'll miss you Uncle Ray, but what a joyful reception you'll receive by those who are waiting for you.

I miss your smile and the big hug you gave me each time I came to visit. We could have had 300 years together and it still would not have been enough. I promise to pass on every thing you ever taught me and those I teach will do the same. Your presence will only grown stronger with each telling. We miss you dearly Dad, but we know that you're smiling and looking down on us and knowing you played a vital part in all of our successes. Be happy, Dad, and keep smiling. I'll see you when I get there. Love always and forever - Michelle

Sorry to hear Uncle Ray's passing. Even though I have never been one to keep contact with family. I loved him dearly. My Best memories were when we were little the whole crew would come by and stay with us. Uncle Ray, Aunt Doris, Tom, Greg, and Annette. Sorry Michelle but you weren't born yet. You were in training pants the last time I saw you in Newberg. Uncle Ray was always so soft spoken and gentle towards me. He would always talk to me and listen to what I said. Aunt Doris I always thought she was soooo beautiful and I had such a crush on her. She was a very quiet person,,,but always warm and kind to me. As I have gotten older I do tend to think back about our younger days. I always had fun and it was always a special time when you came to visit. I will miss Uncle Ray and think of your Mom,,,,and have always wanted to know my cousins better. Take care of yourselves and again I'm sorry with your fathers passing

I will miss Uncle Ray deeply, he has left me with great memories of life and how precious it really is. I will never forget the walks we took together on Sunday mornings with one of his friends Dr Collard. Uncle Ray was in the pursuit of better health after his triple heart bypass and I was lucky enough to be asked to come along for the walk, or maybe I asked! Never the less he was never the type of person to disappoint a child. Our walks would always end at the Red Pantry for breakfast, although I cant remember a single breakfast we ate, I will never forget those walks. As time goes by we often look back to the past and wonder why we couldnt have made more time to spend with the ones we loved so much. I to have these thoughts going through my mind, fortunately I will always have the memories. My deepest sympathy goes out to Franny and his family. I love you Uncle Ray.

Ray was my friend. Ill miss him. We used to have some long talks about the military, about life in the mid west, about life experiences, and most often about his children and his grandchildren. Everyone liked Ray. Despite his health challenges, Ray was always upbeat, with a smile and a hello for everyone he met. Ray was just a good guy. Ill surely remember him. Hope youre ok now Ray.
