Raymond Jack LynskySt. GeorgeRaymond Jack Lynsky, age 87, passed away peacefully on July 28, 2017 in St. George, Utah. He was born on March 12, 1930, in Cleveland, Ohio to James Lawrence Lynsky and Erma Anna Lerch. He was the youngest of three children (Norma Siffert, Dr. Jim Lynsky).Ray graduated from Lakewood High School (Ohio) in 1948 and attended one year at Hillsdale College. He then entered the Lackland Air Force Base for basic training and served four years in the United States Air Force.While stationed in Arizona, he met the love of his life, Patricia Irene Ashdown. They married February 5, 1954 and are the parents of five children. They were married for 63 wonderful years. He was known for his kindness, sense of humor, and happy disposition. He loved his family and was proud of each of his children.Upon leaving the Air Force, Ray and Pat moved to Cleveland, Ohio in 1956 where he learned the craftsmanship of a Jeweler from his father, James. After working 23 years alongside his father, Ray and Pat moved to Santa Clara, Utah in 1979, where he continued his work as a jeweler for another 20 plus years. Ray was a pure craftsman. Each ring or piece of jewelry was custom designed and hand crafted with unmatched precision. His legacy lives on through the many pieces of custom jewelry he made for others.Ray also loved baseball and played throughout his high school years, while serving in the Air Force, and he continued to play softball on Santa Clara City leagues, finally hanging up the glove at the age of 80.
