Curtis Raymond Bills, son of Eldon Larry and Helen (Andersen) Bills was born August 16, 1962 in Eldora, Iowa. Ray's early childhood education started at Waterloo Elementary continuing his education at the Rockwell-Swaledale Elementary. Ray was a graduate of the 1981 class at Mason City High. After graduation, he attended cooking school in Estherville, Iowa. Ray worked as a cook at the I. O. O. F. Home in Mason City and also worked at the LaHacienda II.
He was a kind gentle soul who always put others first. He always had a big smile and a kind wave for those he met. Ray was an avid Hawkeye Fan and enjoyed cheering on the Green Bay Packers. During the racing season, Ray would be at the I-35 speedway on Sunday nights in row two, middle section. He also enjoyed a good game of pool.
In the winter time, he would anxiously await snowfall so he could get his snow blower out to move snow and looked forward to sending Christmas cards. Ray always enjoyed listening to music, always finding his radio station tuned to 106.1 at a volume that would rattle the windows.
His greatest joy was his nieces, nephew, and great-nephew along with his two nephew dogs. He was the best nanny ever.
He will be dearly missed by his mother, Helen Bills; father, Eldon Larry (Linda) Bills; sisters, Christina (Steve Hrubetz) Bills and Heather (Dan) Allen; brothers, Chuck Bills and Brandon Bills; uncles, Ernie (Jean) Bills, Gary (Debbie) Bills, Jim (Debbie) Bills; aunt, Linda (Roger) Folkerds, nieces, Ashley Bills, Haley Kavaya, Sammi Jo Bills; nephew, Dalton Dean Biddick; great-nephew Austin Moore; along with numerous cousins.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents and two aunts.
