Ray was a great friend and mentor. Best boss I ever worked for, hands down!! I will surely miss his "check in" phone calls and his classic wit. I will also miss our card games. A void has been created in our "world". He will be greatly missed.

Ray was my big brother and I looked up to him. We all will miss his sense of humor. I will miss his love, advice, and even his teasing. Ray always said, "Life is good." And he made the most of it. I will especially miss his Saturday morning phone calls and his hearty "Hey, Little Sis!"

Ray will be remembered as a valued former member of the Whitehall Farm community and a past president of the Association during a difficult period of transition.

Ray was a wonderful person. He was a very kind and giving person. I always looked forward to seeing him. The things he would come up with were funny and entertaining. I can not imagine not seeing him again. He will never be forgotten.

The joy of being having such a close relationship with my brother will stay in my heart forever. It may have been a short life for Ray, but it was filled with love, fun and sensitivity. I will so miss my brother and his Saturday morning calls.
