Married for 71 years, Ray and Ceci had a fulfilling and adventurous life together. After 20 years in the Air Force and raising 6 great kids while living in MN :-), they set out on a 6 year sailing odyssey which took them half way around the world. Upon returning to dry land and becoming landlubbers once again, they took up residence in northern MN on 1200 acres of prime forest and farm land. Ray spent the next 30 (or so years) indulging in his second love of gardening, while Ceci spent her time preserving the fruits (and vegetables!) of his labors. Ray and Ceci (94 & 93 respectively) are missed very much by their 6 children, 10 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.
