Ray Wemple left a lasting impression
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Ray Wemple. He was a gentle giant of a man and devoted husband and father.
Ray’s public service with Schenectady Police Department and later as the communications coordinator for Schenectady County will never be duplicated. A dedicated public servant, he was the model of how to “do your job.”
I got to know Ray in the 90’s with our mutual passion for ice hockey. Our sons played youth hockey and we wanted to help the association with developing a new rink with the closing of Center City in Schenectady. We became president and vice president of the Schenectady Youth Hockey Association. Ray was the definition of a “right-hand” man and a tireless crusader.
