Ray High was a "Man among Men", would do anything for anyone, and I was proud to call him a genuine true friend for many many years. He was responsible for me personally getting active in our SC HFMA Chapter, guiding me all the way through my Chapter President year. Ray was a positive influence on everyone he met.
I pray for strength for his wife, sons and his daughter and family.

Ray had gentle spirit. He was genuine and full of integrity. I met Ray through HFMA. We shared a lot of laughs and joy of family. He will be missed; however, his legacy of helping and reaching out to others will endure.
