Ray Habyan has back surgery

Ray Habyan, BJ maintenance retiree, had seven collapsed discs fused in back surgery.

“The next six months will be interesting, to say the least,” Ray writes.

Ray has had four operations on his right shoulder, the crushed bone sawed off next to his rotator cuff, a torn bicep muscle and a 2 ½ -inch skull fracture that brought on seizures.

Ray said the damage happened while we was working at the BJ, where he was Guild member and Steward from 1975-1996.

He also has had a Pacemaker since 2012. Like me, his heart rate is too low with the governor in his chest.

After 17 years in Sedona, Arizona on computer networking assignments and piloting small planes, he retired and moved back to the Akron area where his parents and his wife's mother live.

He does pencil drawings for the families of Gold Star military heroes.
