Boughton died peacefully on February 16, 2010. The son of Fred and Rachel (Corning) Boughton, Ray was born March 9, 1912 in Lewistown, Montana. In 1941, Ray married Lucille Bergdahl, who preceded him in death in 2000. Together they were wonderful parents to Susan (Jerry) Troff, Gregory (Deryl), and Mary Lou Boughton; and honored to be grandparents to Melissa and Steve (Donna) Boughton. Ray was proud of his Montana roots, graduation from Comstock High School, service in the Navy Sea Bees, his career with the Upjohn Company, but especially proud of his family. He loved a round of golf, a trip to a place he had never been before, his cowboy boots, and never missed an opportunity to tell a good story! Ray was a member of First Presbyterian Church and served as a deacon. Cremation has taken place and messages may be left at www.avinkcremation.com. A memorial service will take place in the spring. The family suggests memorial contributions sent to the Kalamazoo Public Library or Loaves and Fishes.
