To the McNutt Family,
My deepest condolences to the family at this most trying time in the loss of Ray. He was a happy go lucky gentleman in every aspect of the word. I had the please of meeting him thru a mutual friend, Ramiro Martinez, and Mr. McNutt always had a great big smile when he walked into Mr. Martinez' business. He will be sorely missed. Prayers go out to Mrs. McNutt and her family. Cherish the memories that Mr. McNutt has left behind.

The consumate gentleman with the style and sophistication of Cary Grant and the sweetness and large-heartedness of the Scarecrow from the 'Wizard of Oz.' I will always think fondly of Mr McNutt. The Fourth of July parties out at their home in the summer is the stuff of great childhood memories. My thoughts will be with his friends and family at this time of loss. I will especially be thinking of his wife Jan and his son Jack.

I remember Mr. Mcnutt's big smile when I worked at Coronado Country Club. He was a very nice member and a good golfer. I remember him when he would come up in his golf cart and chat with us. Mr. Mcnutt may God rest your soul.
