He declared in fact that he was a "Kountry Kettle Alumni" and looked forward to "going to school" there with friends each week. Some of the greatest chapters in his life were written over a cup of coffee at the the kitchen table.or the Kountry Kettle in Elburn. Although he worked hard, he took time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Ray was a "forever farmer" who would pause at the field’s edge just to "smell the dirt" in the Spring and marvel at the beauty of the harvest in the fall. They made their home on the family farm where they raised six children. MARRIAGE On Aughe was united in marriage to Jeanette Helen Fabrizius. Ray graduated from Maple Park High School with the class of 1944, but he began his education just down the road from his farm, at the Renwick country school where he always arrived early in winter to start the fire. BORN: He was born Apthe son of Edwin and Bertha (Haish) Klotz. For months, his wife Jeanette, their six children and families, had filled his last days with loving care and wonderful memories.
