Ray was quite a character, with a good sense of humor. He loved to have fun and make fun. He had a home in Chicago and spent many a Saturday night dining with friends and family in Chinatown. He loved boating and watersking. He was married a few times. Ray and his first wife had only one child. They named her Carol because it was close to Christmas when she made her entrance on December 5 1948. This marriage ended in divorce. Carol then lived with Ray and his next wife. There were no children born to this union. That marriage ended in divorce as well.
Then Ray married a cute little Mexican chicquita. They had many happy years together, until one terrible day in May of 1969. Ray received news that his beloved Carol had been murdered. His world came to a halt. The killer was caught and imprisoned for life. Ray managed to hang on to what he valued. His life, his wife, and his friends. He mellowed as the years went by. Never did give up smoking. At the end, it could be said of him, that he fought the good fight. He will always be remembered. Ray was preceded in death by his dear Carol Charboneau Fournier and his brother Bert M. Charboneau. Both of whom are memorialized on Find A Grave. (Bert is in Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Mn. Find A Grave memorial # 483780)
