Ray was a mentor, friend, and role model. He taught me submarine sonar in San Diego in 1970-71. He taught me what it was to be a submariner.

My deepest sympathy in this time of sorrow. I worked with Ray as part of DDL on several boats. Ray was someone who could do an expert job while keeping a smile on everyone's face. Always a story, always a laugh, and was loved by all.
