I am so sorry to hear about your son. I was Nancy Urso, Bob's ex-wife. I feel bad because our kids never got to know each other. My prayers are with you. God Bless

Met Ray at Carlisle Ford show in 2005... Had spoken 100's of times. We basically hung most of that Saturday in Carlisle. I had a part I never installed on my Gen II MKVIII and Ray was right there saying; Lets get her done bro... The spirit of kindness flowed through him and what a wonderful person to be around. I am so sorry for my late response. Condolences can never assuage the grief felt by loved ones; but knowing he is in the peacefulness that is the Kingdom of God helps. There are not many people you meet only twice and feel so impacted by their passing. May these and his legacy of wonderful memories endure forever in your lives and especially through this difficult time. May God Bless you all! Peace Ray!!! JC

So sorry for your loss. I was shocked to hear the news. The first thing that popped into my mind was how RayJo would push all the kids around in our back yard in the metal fire truck, one of my favorite childhood memories. God Bless.

My deepest sympathy to all family and loved ones.
As someone mentioned here previously, Ray was one of the good guys. Hard to find many like him anymore. He was ALWAYS willing to help others without any reservations. A true friend that will always be remembered.
Rest in peace Bro. Will miss you.

Wow Ray, What can I say? I told my wife how sad I was you were taken. I told her how good of a person you were. How you tried to help everyone.
You know what she said? "God always takes the good ones early."
Made me even sadder. Ray really was one of the "good ones".
Hope to see you some day at a Lincoln car meet somewhere up in the heavens. Be sure to bring the BarneyMobile with you.

While I have never met Ray I looked forward to our long talks on the phone. He was a great friend and always made me laugh. I still hear his voice in my head and will miss him. Always willing to help others without giving it a second thought. We will all miss him.

I spoke with Ray several times on the phone but never got the chance to meet him in person. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and answer any questions I had. He was a great asset to everyone on the LVC forum. He be greatly missed but never forgotten.
