Dear Mary and family, I was stunned to read that Ray passed. I go back a few years with Ray and had some great laughs. I remember going to his house on Main st when he was about 15 years old to hear him beat onthe drums. We had some great times when we were kids. Ray rest in peace with the god Lord . My prayers go out to the family. God bless Ken and Elaine Aubrey
