Raymond Loran Buseman was born September 16, 1932, in Fern, Iowa, to Henry and Fanny (Fekkers) Buseman.
Ray grew up in the Parkersburg area, and attended Parkersburg High School.
Ray loved all of God’s creation and every season. He and Javone spent every morning in the parks surrounding Pella enjoying breakfast together. Ray and Javone spent many hours birdwatching and going on morning walks. Ray also loved fishing and family trips to Leech Lake, Minnesota where he fished every year at least once.
Ray started many family traditions that will continue. Since their 50th anniversary, Ray and Javone have hosted family breakfasts at the Amana Colonies to celebrate each year of marriage.
Ray will be remembered for his favorite things. Ford cars and trucks always won out over any other kind. The Hawkeyes were favored over the rest of the Iowa teams. Short leaders with red spinners always caught the most fish when Ray was fishing. Ray was a collector of Kellogg cars, mustaches cups with matching saucers that were made in Germany, and Rath memoribila.
