The Coderre Family,
Ray was a wonderful person and meant a great deal to my whole family. He was always so much fun to be around and was such a positive person, even after becoming so ill. We will always remember the time he rode his 10 speed bike from Worcester to Wells Beach, Maine to see us. We will always remember him and miss him very much. We are so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Kay Power

I grew up with Ray and hung around withhim while we were young. We hunted, fished and went camping together. My child hood would not have been as memorable or as fun had Ray not been in it. Ray was one of my lifelong friends even though we didn't see alot of each other in our adult lives. My life is a better one having had Ray as a friend and I will miss him dearly. My condolenses to his entire family.

The world is a better place because of Ray's having been in it.He was a great friend, and will be sorely missed.

Ray, I will remember you as one of the sweetest guys I ever had the pleasure to know. You always made the room light up when you walked into the flight-line shack. We missed you when you retired, we will miss you even more now. Rest in Peace.
