Raymond Boeckmann
Raymond John Boeckmann, 65, of North Little Rock passed away on Christmas morning following a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born October 17, 1942 in North Little Rock to the late C.F. and Marie Boeckmann. He attended church and grade school across the street from his home at Immaculate Heart of Mary and graduated from Catholic High School in 1960. He immediately joined the United States Navy, honorably and bravely serving our country as a submarine Lieutenant for 20 years. In 1980, he returned home to Arkansas where he was involved with the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department and successfully owned and operated Electronics Unlimited until he retired.
Nothing pleased Ray more than sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through his words and actions. He was an active member of Fellowship North in North Little Rock where he served as Facilities Director and initiated the ?1-Hour Hero? ministry. He strongly believed in and supported the S.T.E.P. Ministries program at his church and around the city.
Ray is survived by his beloved wife Becky and his six children, Robert John (Mishell) of Anchorage, AK; Adem Paul (Melissa) of Gnome, AK; Reachel Quinn (Carl) of Anchorage, AK; John Raymond Goff III of Austin, TX; Dana Lynn (Rob) Garrison of Russellville, AR; Sherry Rae (Randal) Meyer of Sacramento, CA, and eight grandchildren, Adem, Anvil, Aidan, Brynn, Atticus, Rohan, Atlas, and Kai. He is further survived by two brothers, Joe of Conway, AR and Paul (Jill) of Bee Branch, AR and two sisters, Ann Marie (John) McAuley of Clarksville, AR and Johanna (Bob) Thomas of North Little Rock. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three sisters, Jean Thrasher, Agnes Hogan, and Marty Coffee.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Fellowship North, the S.T.E.P. Ministries or Kenya Relief.
Funeral services will be held 11:00 a.m. Thursday at Fellowship North. Burial will be in Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Thursday at the Church.
