Raymond, my husband, was the love of my life.
His parents were Harold Stansbury and Dorothy Taylor Stansbury, both of Topeka Kansas.
We met late in life, at a time when you think all your new beginnings are over, and he proposed in July 2018. Soon after we married, he became very ill.
Ray excelled in everything he attempted. World class power lifter with 23 inch arms, he competed against Arnold Schwartzneiger. He was the original drummer in High School for the group Weeds, the band that later became known as KANSAS. He was an excellant oil painter, author of a 5 star Mystery novel, Tainted Vengeance, avid gardner, loved to fish...designed and built intricate fishing rods, collected rare drum sets and fishing reels. He also owned Inner City Ironworks in Topeka.
In April of 2019 he became ill with Mylodysplastic Syndrome, a form of Leukemia, and February 7, 2020 he passed away in my arms while I begged him to take one more breath.
Ray was a Christian and he loved Jesus.
I will join you soon, my love.
