Raymon Neal Kucera, 75, of Enid, Oklahoma passed away Sunday, May 29th 2016, at Garland Road Nursing Home. A memorial service will be planned at a later date. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home.
Raymon was born September 28, 1941 in Ponca City, Okla. to Alton Kucera and Thelma Oswalt. Ray graduated from Carrier High School in 1958. He married Georgia Dupus on May 17th, 1966, and had one beautiful daughter, Toni Kucera. Raymon and Thelma also raised several other children if they needed a home. Before starting a family, Raymon served his country in the United States Air Force. Raymon loved being a custodian and doing the Lord’s work. He worked for Wal-Mart, Chisolm Elementary School, and Enid Public Schools. In the late 1970’s he painted several business signs in Enid including the Enid High Football Field. Ray displayed his art in several of Garfield County Fair’s. He was a very religious person and loved to help others whenever possible.
Ray loved the Beatles, westerns, especially with Clint Eastwood, the Twister movie, Eddie and The Cruisers and American Graffiti. He loved to make people laugh, even if you were upset with him, he would just shake his head and laugh and say “I love you too!” and laugh again. Ray was the founding member of the Enid Twisters Car Club with his 1946 Ford Coup “Frogger.” He loved working on his vehicles and going to car shows. Spending time with his grandchildren was a great joy to him. He would take them to car shows and ride bikes with them as often as he could.
He is preceded in death by his brothers, Billy Roberts, Milton Roberts and Ronnie Kucera.
Raymon is survived by daughter, Toni Kucera ; three grandchildren, Ashley Hajek, Nicholas Hajek, and Whitney Kucera; three great-grandchildren, Jasper Kucera, Cynthia George and Autumn George; two brothers, Dean Roberts and Ronnie Roberts; and sister, Lynda Holt.
Ray’s friendliness and kindness to everyone was unforgettable. He was very devoted to his family and others, and never forgot that God loved him.
