BOLEY – Raymond Donald, 60, New Germany; our special angel went to be with Jesus, February 11, 2024. Born March 25, 1963, in Washington, Pennsylvania; son of Donald and Edith (Crocefoglia) Boley. Survived by parents; siblings, Michael (Anne), David (Lori), Kristine Aiken (Brian), and Daniel (Kawa); nieces and nephews, Francis, Georgia, Carson, Jenna (Scott), Donald “Drew” (Kayla), Rachel, Keely, Katie, Elijah, and Ian; and great niece, Delilah.

Ray was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. He worked for Cambria County Association for the Blind and Handicapped for 40 years. He was a medalist in the 1980 Special Olympics in London, England. In 1983, he received an honorary diploma from Bishop Carroll, where he also served as manager for all their sports teams from 1979 to 2023. In 2013 he was inducted into the Huskies Hall of Fame for his enthusiastic support and dedication to their athletic program. Above all, he cherished family. Family gatherings were some of his fondest moments: he was excited to share stories, be the center of attention, and of course plan the next great party. He truly was a bright light in the world and taught us all the meaning of faith, hope, and love. 

Friends will be received from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Charles O. Dimond Funeral Home, Inc., South Fork. 

Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Friday at Immaculate Conception Church, New Germany. Committal, St. Marys Cemetery.

Don’t remember me with sadness,

Don’t remember me with tears,

Remember all the laughter

We’ve shared throughout the years.

When you are walking down the street

And you’ve got me on your mind,

I’m walking in your footsteps

Only half a step behind.

So please don’t be unhappy

Just because I’m out of sight,

Remember that I’m with you

Each morning, noon and night.
