My husband, Kenneth, and I both worked with Ray at ADC. I began working there in 1977 and quickly realized that he was dedicated to teaching welding. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during your time of loss.

I graduated high school with Ray. I'm sad of the news of his passing. I talked with him last year when we were out walking around Chilhowie. He had not changed at all, he was telling me about his family and I truly enjoyed seeing him & talking. I always remember that big ole smile!

We had such a great time growing up as cousins and going to Grandma Hopkin's house or our house on Sundays. Ray will surely be missed. We are so sorry and we have you in our many prayers and on our prayer list at church. We love you all and so glad you are part of our family. love, Patsy Lowery Stilwell & Bub and family
