Raymond Mike Metry

July 11, 1932 - May 10, 2021

Raymond Mike Metry, beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and Gido, was born on July 11, 1932 to the late Mary and Mike Metry of Louisville, KY, and entered into eternal life on Monday, May 10, 2021. He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Dolores, in December of 2020. Ray graduated from duPont Manual High School in 1950 and worked at Coca Cola Bottling Company for thirty years. Ray served in the US Navy during the Korean War aboard the USS Coral Seas. He loved spending time with his friends and family at the Lebanese-American Country Club, and was a very active member of St. Michael’s Orthodox Church for his entire life. Anyone who knew Ray knew that he was an avid University of Kentucky sports fan. Ray is preceded in death by his wife, parents, sister, Shirley Mike (late husband, Albert), and an infant granddaughter, Alexandra Jude. He is survived by his only daughter Pamela Gowers (Stephen), brothers Knobby (Betty) and Ed (Shirley), grandchildren Brittany (Charles) and Christopher (Cheyenne), a step-grandson Scott (Michelle), two great-grandchildren, Charlie and Ben, and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the entire staff at Dominion Senior Living, Jefferson Place, and the nurses at Hosparus of Louisville for their loving kindness and care toward their father and grandfather. The funeral, to be held at St. Michael Orthodox Church, and burial services will be private. Expressions of sympathy may be directed to St. Michael Orthodox Church.
