Raymond's obituary

Raymond Nightengale

Raymond attended Pershing high school and continued his education at Drafting/Design Tech. Ray started his career as a freelance auto designer, working at various automotive design studios throughout the Detroit area. Ultimately, he secured a position as a Design Engineer at Ford Motor Company-Design Center in Dearborn, Michigan.

Raymond believed in living life to the fullest. From the age of 21 Ray loved owning and piloting his boat, the Fishbone(s) I, II, III, IV, V and VI; and enjoyed memorable excursions with fellow boaters to BobLo Island; Chatham, Ontario and Cleveland, Ohio (across Lake Erie). However, his greatest pleasures were the antics and comradery at Erma Henderson Marina. Especially, Tahitian Night. Ray will be remembered for his zest for life and passion for adventure.
