Years and years of TV commercials.
Remember Ray?
"SAVE BIG MONEY AT MENARDS"
He recently passed away at age 91.
Ray Szmanda worked in radio and television in northern Wisconsin, was the father of seven children, owned a radio broadcasting school in Wausau and even had a role in the “Alpha Incident,” a science fiction movie released in 1978 about a microorganism from Mars that is brought to Earth by a space probe and terrorizes passengers in a railroad office.
But for most people, Szmanda will be remembered as the “Menards Guy.”
