Our sincerest condolences to the family. Ray was there when Scott and I met. He was there when we got engaged. He was there at the wedding ceremony. He was there always as a true and caring friend. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary and as we celebrate our marriage, we will think of Ray and how much he meant to us as a friend and couple.

Ray, a dear friend for many years introduced me to a friend whom he worked with at Raytheon. She is now my wife(Starr McGettigan) and we now have two beautiful sons. We will forever have great memories of our friend.

Ray Anderson was my great good friend and will be deeply missed by my self and all of his EB friends. Although I only knew him in the last 12 golden years of his long & happy live, I learned much. He was there when I needed a friend and every hour spent sitting by his side was a treasure. I will always cherish his friendship. I know we will all see him again for as Jesus said at the last supper, friends, the next time we drink wine together will be in our Fathers house. Cheers!
