STRUNKS, Raymond W. Jr.
Age 91, of Greenville, formerly Brookville and Arcanum, went to be with the Lord on Friday January 5, 2018.
Ray was born September 20, 1926 in Vandalia, Ohio to the late Raymond W., Sr. and Mary L. Strunks.
He was preceded in death by his parents; loving wife of 66 years, Shirley; daughter, Brenda Kay; sons, Daniel and Bruce; brother, Ralph; and sisters, Mary and Esther.
Ray is survived by his; children, Dale (Cheryl), Charles (Angie), Carmen (Jim) Watt, Bev (Mike) Norton, Dawn (Tim) Smith, Mindy (Stephan) Markland, and Mitch; grandchildren, Michelle, Karen, Dale Ray, Dianne, Daniel, Rachel, Jeremy, Elissa, David, Charlie, Gary, Angel, Cheri, Jenni, Emily, Ethan, and Maddie; numerous great and great-great grandchildren; and siblings, Arlene, Phyllis, Beverly, and Mike.
Not many people get to decide when they are ready to leave this world behind but he did. He lived a full life getting to experience just about every little boy's dream job as a man. From being a soldier, learning to fly and becoming a pilot, a boxer, working on the railroad, and many other things that we could go on and on! In the midst of all his life experiences he managed to charm our grandma into marrying him and start a family. We can't imagine life without hearing one of his crazy stories of "When I flew the Breezy…" or "Back when I was stationed in Hawaii…" We are sad to say goodbye to the man that helped raise us but glad he's in no more pain and can rest in peace beside our dear grandma where he longed to be. Until we rejoice in heaven together one glad day, rest in peace Grandpa Ray.
The Visitation will be Tuesday January 9 from 5PM to 8PM at ROGERS' FUNERAL HOME, New Lebanon. The Funeral Service will begin at 11AM Wednesday January 10 at the funeral home with Pastors Matthew O'Shell and Mark Koogler officiating. Burial to follow at Trissel Cemetery, New Lebanon.
