Still miss both Ray and Doris--what friends they were

We still miss Ray and often talk about the fun times we had visiting him and Doris. We always laugh when we think of the special steak dinners we used to go to with them and partaking of two-for-one wines sessions at their favorite steakhouse. Ray was one of a kind friend who added much joy to our lives.

Ray has imprinted my life with his humor, kindness, and generosity. He was quick with puns and loved word play; he kept me laughing! He gave to so many charitable institutions, that his mailbox was always stuffed with calendars, address labels, and greeting cards. He never went to Sams Club without bringing back great bulk item buys for all his friends also; I may never run out of paper towels, bars of Dove soap, and tubes of toothpaste! He taught me how to play Rummy Cube, then he always won; if I won, it was because I had a great teacher! Ray and Doris will forever be in my fondest memories!
My love and prayers to his loving family, whom he cherished!

Our thoughts go out to Ray's family and we remember him fondly as a good friend. We had lots of wonderful times on the golf course, at the rummy-cube table, and traveling with him and Doris over the years. We'll miss him!
