Larry Ray was a great friend to me as a young boy when others could not take the time to do so. He was my first brother in law. He taught me to hunt and fish and love the out of doors. His influence had a lot to do with my spending the early part of my working life as a Professional Forester. I am deeply saddened by his passing and deeply grateful for the time he spend with me in my youth. He is a great friend in my mind and heart.

Billy,Kim,Sandy,Terri and Larry,
I'm truly sorry for the loss of your dad. I Wish somehow we could have stayed connected over the years however life is busy. But I do remember many fond memories as a family, fishing, camping and the family gatherings out in New Haven. My dearest memories of your dad are the times we would spend would playing chess. I hope you all find comfort in Gods amazing love during this time. Miss you all

I knew Larry Ray when he was a young man living on Hazel Street in Louisville and went fishing in New Haven with he and his Father. I have lost track of him over the years and am sorry for his death. He was a fine young man and I am sure even better as he aged. My best to his Family and special regards to Dolly.TOE
