Ray was born June 8, 1943 in Peoria to Earl and Lois (Smith) Rebholz. His family moved to Mendota in 1955. He attended Mendota schools and graduated from Mendota High School in 1961. He married Sandra Worsley on June 14, 1964. They were blessed to have had 56 years of marriage. His working years were spent at HCC, Inc. Holland and Sons, and Meriden Street Trailer Sales until 2007 when he retired. He then worked several years at Mauch Carpentry. Ray was a member of First Presbyterian Church where he was an ordained Elder and Deacon. He enjoyed his many years of singing with the Covered Bridge Barbershop Chorus. Ray loved spending time with his family, camping, hiking and working on his 1970 Chevrolet truck and taking it to car shows. He was always happy to be able to help out anyone that needed it. Ray was always busy – either working on his old truck or fixing things. His sons always turned to their dad when they needed advice about how to repair a car or truck or anything else around the house.
He is survived by his wife Sandy of Mendota; three sons Timothy (Mary Jacobs) of Crestview, Florida, Scott (Missy Ptak) of Dodgeville, Wisconsin and Daniel (Angela Hanisch) of Stevens Point, Wisconsin; six grandchildren Amanda (Kale) Davis, Justin (Maddisen) Rebholz, Olivia Rebholz, Tyler Rebholz, Josie Rebholz and Crew Rebholz; two great grandchildren Kamden Davis and Brinley Davis; two brothers Donald (Deb) Rebholz and Ronald Rebholz; sister Donna Tank and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and sister in law Joann Rebholz.
We truly appreciate the loving care provided by Vitas Hospice.
