Raymond James Healey

Mary Maxham Healey posted this sad notice yesterday on Facebook. We offer our sincere condolances to Mary and her family. May Raymond Rest in Peace.

Raymond J Healey, class of BHS 1958, passed away on September 7, 2020, due to esophogeal cancer.

Jim led an adventurous life in the last 20 years flying around the world with other members of the National Audubon Society looking for birds. He was an employee and volunteer with the Henderson, Nevada Bird Preserve since his retirement. This was his passion. He was a certified master birder with the National Audubon Society. There was not a bird he could not identify. When his granddaughter, Emily, asked what his favorite bird was, Jim said "the one I haven't seen yet".

Jim is survived by his daughter Jennifer, son Jamie and four grandchildren: Kristina, Joseph, Emily and Jillian. Jim's partner on his 9 month journey was his ex-wife Mary Healey, class of BHS 1962.

Rest In Peace and Soar with the birds.
