Ray’s business career spanned decades and Ray LaLone Well Drilling became Ray LaLone and Son Well Drilling where he worked alongside his son and best friend, Greg for the last 38 years. His family and friends will fondly remember his enduring passion for flying, tractors, hit and miss engines, steam locomotives, boating, machinery, antique cars, reading, music and Sunday afternoons spent watching the freighters in Port Huron. Beyond anything, Ray loved his family without question and his adoring family was his ultimate pride and joy. He was a devoted family man, provider, and protector. His heart knew no limits and he was bold and enterprising in all his pursuits. His laughter will forever be heard, his blue eyes will forever be seen, and the warmth of his arms will forever be felt by all who cherished him. Our lives will forever be changed because we knew, loved, and were loved by him. A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 10, 2022 at Lewis E. Wint & Son Funeral Home, 5929 S.
