Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Raymond Hugh Dunham announces his passing on Saturday, December 10th, at the age of 75. Raymond, who was affectionately known to many as Ray, Rusty, or Sparky, was originally from Bradford, PA. He graduated from Rider College, and went on to an extremely successful and lifelong career in Sales. After owning his own manufacturer’s rep company, Focus Sales, for over 30 years, Ray retired to The Villages community in Florida. There, he met the love of his life, Mary Schwarz. Ray and Mary spent eight wonderful years together “Living the Dream” and squeezing as much juice from the fruit of life as possible. With the help of the incredible staff of doctors and nurses at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, Ray fought a difficult battle against cancer. Ray’s family extends their deepest gratitude to everyone at Moffitt for their unwavering efforts to try to save Ray’s life. They are truly angels on earth. Ray is survived by his sister, Greta Keverline, and his two sons, Brian and Kevin. Donations in Ray’s honor can be made to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation (www.t2t.org), which he believed was a worthy cause. A celebration of Ray’s life is planned for early February in The Villages.

    Rusty..no other man could fill the shoes of our sons calling you "Dad" as you did...not only am I stating that now but was able to let you know that verbally over the years...as we retained an awesome friendship .. Please watch over them from heaven as you did on earth ..I know you will!

    What a mark Ray left in so many lives. He fought the courageous fight to the end. It's obvious his absence leaves a hole in the hearts of those who had the honor of his devoted friendship, love, and kindness. What a wonderful man, who will be missed by many.
