I was deeply saddened to hear about Ray's passing. I was out of town and could not attend his funeral. Ray was a dear, sweet man and I've missed him at church. My deepest sympathies to to the family, may his memory be eternal!

Ray was a great neighbor and even greater man. He shared his wonderful company, bright sense of humor and skills with those who needed a hand. He shared his faith and kindness with everyone with whom he came in contact. His presence and cheer will be sorely missed, but I know his joy is without description at the reunion with his beloved wife. Praise the Lord we had him for 92 years.
