| Obituary | 22 December 2009 | Obituary: The obituary for Raymond was recorded on 22 December 2009. [from BlueRidgeNow.com, 22 Dec 2009] Raymond E. Alger Ray Alger, 82, of Hendersonville passed away peacefully at home Saturday, Dec. 19, 2009 after a long struggle with cancer. His wife, Marcene Jones Alger, and best friend Susie (the black lab) were at his side. He was the son of the late Earle and Myrtle Alger of Gary, Ind., and a U.S. Marine who proudly served in World War II in Saipanas as Military Police. Last year he made a trip with HonorAir to Washington and felt it was one of the best experiences of his life. Ray was always seen proudly wearing his U.S. Marine hat and would strike up a conversation with fellow Marines whenever possible. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Rosemary Witte. Ray worked in the Witte family auto business in Chicago for 37 years. He and Rosemary fell in love with Hendersonville during a vacation to Florida and retired to the area in 1980. With the help of family members, the Algers built a home in Saluda. After Rosemary's death in 1989, he met and married Marcene Jones. They lived in Saluda and Hendersonville. They always enjoyed working on their home, making it "picture perfect." They could be found almost daily enjoying their work in the yard. Ray was a kind-hearted gentleman, who was loved by his family, which includes: three daughters; Carol Pisat and her husband, Robert, Cheryl Deckinga and her husband, Henry, and Caren Lenderink and her husband, Ben; five step-children, Gary Jones and his wife, Cindy, Donnie Jones and his wife, Doris, Gail Jones King and her husband, Steve, Diane Jones Grant and her husband, Tom, and Chat Jones and his wife, Judy; along with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, of which he was very proud. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Thos. Shepherd's Church Street Chapel with Chaplain Arthur Slagle officiating. Military rites will be conducted by Hubert M. Smith American Legion Post No. 77, Hedrick-Rhodes VFW Post No. 5206, Chapter No. 14 of the DAV. An online register book is available for family and friends by visiting www.thosshepherd.com.
