Ray Musser

Ray Musser passed away peacefully July 29, 2015. By his side was his best friend, confidant, neighbor and guardian angel, RueAnn Larson.

Ray lived a full life and enjoyed hunting and fishing. While Ray wasn’t much on calling people (“the phone works both ways Ray”) whenever he did, he would re-tell the whole conversation with a big smile on his face. While he might say, “they talked forever” rolling his eyes, he too would talk to his daughter for almost an hour. This was usually when she was on her way over to visit him.

Ray lost his wife and hunting partner Erla in 2004 but kept her memory alive and close. He named his Shamrock plant Erla and would take extraordinary care of “her” and would not let anyone touch “her”. Ray was a unique man who may not have had the best communication skills, but loved, laughed and appreciated everyone in his life. His smile, sense of humor and the twinkle in his eyes will be missed by family and friends.

Ray did not want a funeral service but did want to have his ashes scattered in his old hunting grounds where Erla and many other of his hunting buddies are.
