Raymond Ihde

My husband & I are so thankful we were able to meet Ray & Willis in September. It was a wonderful visit that we will treasure always. We will see Ray again in eternity & it will be a joyous day! Vince & Sue Zitella (daughter of Ray’s cousin Rosamond Swanke Testa, granddaughter of his Aunt Emma Ihde Swanke)

Mark, I only meet your father a couple of times when visiting you in Billings. I found him to be a nice gentleman. I am sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there, but am in Texas taking care of my brother. Please take care and know that I am praying for you and your family. 73 Jim Fuller N7VR

I can still remember Raymond as if was yesterday although it has been 1974 since I had last seen him at his past home in Dickinson, ND. Ray was a guy with a firm no nonsense demeanor whose wife Willis was his counterbalance. They were good together and made a good family team with their three sons.
