Dear Lavelle, Darryl and Dyton,
I just heard of Ray's passing and I am so saddened. I fondly remember when he was pastor at New Haven in Tulsa. He contributed greatly to its growth and its mission to serve God and bring people to know Christ. I'm sorry for your loss and may God bless you.

Dear Lavelle and family members:
Ray was a dear friend for over 40 years - when I was a staff member on the General Board of Evangelism - I voted for him for bishop - He had a heart for evangelism and cared for people. He was a good preacher and pastor. He will be missed - but remembered.

I am deeply saddened at the loss of your father. He was a great man, great statesmen and a great Bishop for the Church. My prayers and thoughts are with you both and your familes at this time of loss.
