Raymond Haen, age 72, of Sheboygan, passed away on Wednesday, April 8, 2020, at home after a courageous and long fought five-year battle with cancer. He was born in Sheboygan on November 20, 1947, the son of the late Raymond and Catherine Haen. Raymond attended local schools and graduated from Sheboygan South High School in 1966. On January 3, 1970, he was united in marriage with Rosemary Ruehr at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Raymond was a very dedicated worker as a Project Manager, at both Bray Associates and Quasius Construction, until his retirement. He also served in the United States Army Reserve. Raymond was involved in many community organizations in the Sheboygan area including the Sheboygan Water Utility Board, Sheboygan Architectural Review Board, R.C.S. Empowers Board, and many Sheboygan Area School District Committees. He truly enjoyed spending time with his family at their cottage on Pearl Lake where he taught his children and grandchildren to water ski. He also enjoyed his Corvette, R/C cars, and marching in Classic Reunion Drum Corps with his niece Deb.
Raymond is survived by his three children, Kevin (Andrea) Haen of Sheboygan, Jeffrey (Susan) Haen of Cleveland, WI, Jennifer Haen of Sheboygan; seven grandchildren, Lucas, Carter, Nicholas, Noah, Autumn, Jordyn and Cameron; sister, Marjorie (Richard) Hahn of Sheboygan; niece, Deb (Rudy) Mahler of Sheboygan and two sisters-in-law, Judith Krebsbach of Sheboygan and Nancy (David) Papendieck of Plymouth.

I was sorry to hear of Rays passing. He was a great person and I have good memories of him. I will miss racing Rc cars with him and the others in the group. I will always remember how welcome he made me feel when we were together. I remember how excited he was when he purchased the corvette and he came out to McDonald's and showed me it. I also remember how great his attitude was as he went through the issues caused by his cancer. The last time I called him he was eating breakfast. he stopped and we chatted abut many things and remeniced about the past. As to Ray's family, I offer my condolences to you. I know you will miss him as well I. May God Be with you and he with him.

I know that my Redeemer lives. What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, he lives, who once was dead. He lives, my ever-living Head. He lives to bless me with his love. He lives to plead for me above. He lives my hungry soul to feed. He lives to bless in time of need. He lives to grant me rich supply. He lives to guide me with his eye. He lives to comfort me when faint. He lives to hear my soul's complaint. He lives to silence all my fears. He lives to wipe away my tears. He lives to calm my troubled heart. He lives all blessings to impart. He lives, my kind, wise heav'nly Friend. He lives and loves me to the end. He lives, and while he lives, I'll sing. He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King. He lives and grants me daily breath. He lives, and I shall conquer death. He lives my mansion to prepare. He lives to bring me safely there. He lives! All glory to his name! He lives, my Savior, still the same. Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: "I know that my Redeemer lives!" He lives! All glory to his name! He lives, my Savior, still the same. Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: "I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Bill Schlegel

I am very sorry to hear that Ray has passed away. He is now back with the love of his life Rosemary. I have known Ray 45 years or more. I worked on projects with him at Brays and then we worked together at Quasius Const..He was one of the greatest guys I have ever known, and I am a better person because of our friendship. Ray can never be replaced, we just need to adjust without him here on earth. God just received one heck of a angel. My Prayers and thoughts are with all of his family. Bill Schlegel

Jim Slapikes

Hi - I grew up with Ray - on 14th st., one block over. We used to build model cars together, play catch, play bumper pool and mess with slot cars in his basement - ride bikes (he had a Corvette then too, a Schwinn Corvette) . I was sorry to learn of his cancer troubles, he fought against it as hard as it can be fought. I wish there could be a regular funeral for him, but right now it can't be done. I'm sorry for your loss, he was a good guy. Jim Slapikes
