My deepest sympathies to Rays family. I had the pleasure of studying drums with Ray in the Chicago area back in the 70's. He was an exceptional set player and teacher. I remember him as always being upbeat and fun to be around. He and I both enjoyed being around Barrett Deems (a world famous drummer) here in Chicago. Essentially Ray, lived for drumming and his enthusiasm was infectious. Godspeed, Ray.
