We were terribly saddened to learn of your loss of Ray, and pray that you will have the fortitude to carry on with the presence, and love, of your family. It's very unfortunate we did not hear of your sorrow until Sunday the 16th from my brother Gerry; otherwise we would have been at your side to console you and Gregg's family during this difficult time. Love,Larry Barbara Guay.

What a shock to hear about Ray. We will always cherish the times we spent at the marina together. We had so much fun with both of you. Remember the boat race! We will keep you both in our prayers.

Dear Sue, Greg, Dale and Bruce,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband, father and brother. I have fond memories of Ray and how he would hold court with his brothers in the family's back yard. Although we haven't been in touch for quiet some time, I will always have memories of Ray and David. God bless.

Dear Sue, Greg and Family-I'm sorry for your loss. Noelle and I have such amazing memories that involve the big red house with "the dot". We had no idea what Ray was doing back there on that desk, only that we could NOT cross the line into that office! Ray was an active and encouraging Dad, always willing to let two girls tag along with Greg. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Love, Nicole Ingegneri

Sue, Greg & Family,
I have such wonderful memories of Ray and growing up on Claflin Street with Greg. Nicole and I spent so much time at the Collard house. Ray was our crossing guard when it was time to go home. I can remember we would always peek through the little window opening in the kitchen and "spy" on Ray as he was working at his desk. My thoughts are with you all and I hope you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you must have of Ray. Fondly, Noelle Poissant-Ingegneri

Sue,
I am writing this for my mother, Therese L'Homme, who is currently in the hospital. She wants to express her sympathies to you, your son and your family. You are all in her prayers.
Also I would like to extend my sympathies as well. I am her daughter Claire and I live in AZ.

Since Ray entered the University of Minnesota with his Wentworth degree already in hand, he was a much more mature freshman than any other of us that year. More experienced at having fun and just a bit wiser, good times with Ray seldom included day-after regrets. In the decades since he's remained a kind of big brother whose friendship I've always been grateful for. We might go a couple years without hearing from each other – then talk 5 times in three days about the relative merits of the Twins and Red Sox. Time had no bearing on Ray's friendship; he just was always there. Things will be different from now on. But he will still always be here in our hearts.

Dear Suzanne and family.......It is with deep sorrow that you have lost such a wonderful person in your life....Ray was my dear cousin and we always looked forward to receiving his Christmas letter. He had such a sense of humor. We would laugh for weeks after receiving it.....So sorry that such a great and wonderful man is gone.....In our prayers, Mike and Jeanne Goulet (Falmouth, Ma)
