To the Harmon Family and Friends:
I know that sinking feeling
It will happen to you too...
The one that you love is gone forever
And there's nothing you can do.
So try to remember the good times together
And your heart will start to heal
They live on inside you,
They're always beside you,
They're angels waiting there,
To guide you home.

To the Harmon Family, I have had the privilege of working with Ray under Mayor Dave Cieslewicz. He had the greatest smile and since of humor. I still remember the many days during lunch time he would come out and say, what's for lunch. I would say, I brought my lunch. He'd say, save it for tomorrow, let's get lunch. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We lost a great man. I cherish the memories we created playing basketball at Nicolet. We had so many great laughs together. Ray's big smile was so contagious. He would light up my day and make me feel better every time I saw him. His warm caring nature was amazing. I feel lucky to have shared the time that I did with Ray.

I met Ray back in high school when he came by the house with some friends for an impromptu “party”. I look back and think about those days when we had so much life and so many dreams ahead of us. Despite it all, Ray made his dreams come true in such a short period of time and we all should look to him as an inspiration. My prayers go out to his son and family - may God bless you and keep you.

Faith, hope, and love are lasting. But the greatest of these is love. I am truly blessed to have met my brother in Christ Jesus, Ray.
Ray, you have truly enhanced the quality of life of many people; a true advocate who have seamless orchestrated a positive change in the life of many. I have, and will continue to thank our Lord Jesus Christ for you.
Although I am deeply sadden by your death; I am confident in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. My continual prayers and thoughts are with your family and love ones during this time.
God Blessings,

Pops, ur my hero, my role model, my homie, my captain, my mentor, my soul, my favorite basketball player even tho I never seen played b4 but I been hearing a lot of great thing about your hooping days and will know more. It's been hard to deal with, bcuz u been on my mind since your passing, but either way, I'm still strong enough to say that I'm still hanging and will get through this on my own. It hurt that I still want to kick it with u bcuz that what we talk about while I was at children waiting for a heart transplant, I had a dream that me and u would go kick it and play some one-on-one but now, ur at peace, and I'm still on this earth without u. I know your shining down on me rite now, bcuz whenever I step back on the court, my first game, will be dedicated to u and that my dream I want to touch, and not only that, ur now my motivator to go harder to make it out. Tell grandma Mary I said hello and I luv and miss her. See u guy when I get there
Your only son, Dominique "Domo" Johnson,
Luv u Pops
