I too, became aquainted with Ray at CF Industries. He was a gentleman, and will be missed by those who worked with, or knew him..

I first met Ray in 1972 when I went to work with CF Industries. I worked with him until his retirement. Ray was a great guy with a unique sense of humor and I always considered him a friend.
