Ray was the youngest son of Louis and Mary Timmerman and the devoted

brothers, Robert and Louis, and several nieces and nephews. He grew up in

friends he made there over the years. He enjoyed and took pleasure in the simple
things in life and was an avid collector of coins and an enthusiastic fan of the New
