Ray was born in Marshfield, WI on December 22, 1930, to Theodore and Meta (Gergs) Wunrow.  He served his country in the United States Navy from 1948 to 1952.  He was honored to go on the Never Forgotten Honor Flight in May 2014.

Ray was a dedicated worker and spent his career at Consolidated Papers Inc in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, retiring in 1990 as a supervisor in the Paperboard Division after 37 years of service.

Ray was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church and Buckley-Baldwin Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2534 in Wisconsin Rapids, where he served with distinction. Ray had a love for polka dancing and fishing, often spending cherished time at Six Lakes Resort in Chetek, WI. His love for life and joyful spirit will be remembered by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Theodore and Meta Wunrow; his first wife, Grace Wunrow; two brothers: Clifford and Reinhold Wunrow; and his beloved Shih Tzu, Benji.

Raymond's life was filled with love for his family, commitment to his community, and passion for his hobbies. His legacy will be kept alive by the memories shared by his family and friends.
