He was born July 4, 1922, in Colby, Wis., to Henry and Catherine Baures. On July 19, 1945, he married Belva Wolfe at St. Mary's Church in Fountain City.
Ray's love of being on the road carried him through his entire life. From the early days of hauling logs and cattle, to his milk hauling years, and then to his years of hauling cars and parts for Elmer's Salvage. He enjoyed years of motorcycling with his wife and friends that took him to many places in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The years they traveled in their motor home with Bud and Billie Wolfe and Warren and Jean Wolfe, took them to many places across the United States. He enjoyed watching his Baures Trucking softball team play in many tournaments while camping with the team and fans. He was one of the "Pioneer Racers" at the Waumandee Race Track, where he fulfilled his dream of being a race car driver. The time he spent with his family meant the most to him above all.
He will be forever remembered for the smile that was always on his face and a wave to whoever met him on the road. For those who had the joy of knowing him, his phrase "mercy sakes" will always be in our hearts.
Survivors include his wife, Belva; three sons, John (Jane) Baures, of Fountain City, and Rick (Jeri) Baures, and Paul (Becky) Baures, both of Buffalo City, Wis.; three daughters, Diane (Tom) Lettner, of Fountain City, Sue (Bill) Dworshak, of Green Bay, Wis., and Brenda (Arnie) Ginther, of Fountain City; fourteen grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; his very special little friend Casper; and two sisters, Rose Bruckner of Fountain City, and Dorothy Fernholz of Milwaukee, Wis.
