Raymond Richard Winters, 81, passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side, on December 7, 2020.

Ray was born August 11, 1939, in Flasher, North Dakota to John Winters and Marie Blotsky.  He grew up and attended school in McIntosh, SD.

He worked most of his life doing sheet metal work and heating and air conditioning.  Ray worked at a few different places until he started his own business "Ray's Heating and Air Conditioning."  Which he owned until he retired.

Ray had one true love, Catherine Fleury.  He loved driving fast cars, watching sports, and betting on sports even more.  He enjoyed playing cards and having coffee with his friends.

Ray loved his family but found the most joy in his grandbabies.  But then he always had a soft spot in his heart for all children.  He kept the candy companies in business.

Survivors include his sisters, Mary Jane Dillman and Shelly Schmierer both of Rapid City; son, Terry Cuny of Helena, MT; daughters, Rosemary Winters of Fort Yates, ND, DeeAnne Wyrick of Pekin, IL, Stacie Winters of Rapid City, and Candace Winters of Gillette, WY; grandchildren, Monica, Monte, Melody, Raymond, Katie, Kyle, Lynn, Ray, Tera, Joe, Thomas, and Stevie; and great grandchildren, Allie, Izabella, Rain, Ree, Raymond, Roman, Reanna, Abby, Kadence, Jayse, and Fox.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Marie Winters; his one true love, Catherine; brother, Leo; sister, Darlene; and sons, Dennis, Bob, Jeff, and Chris.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the Spring of 2021.  Further notice of the service date will be posted in the paper.
