To Carol, Mike and Jeff I extend my most heartfelt and compassionate condolences. Ray was a truly great individual.

At GE we worked together in purchasing. He was always the most positive person. Never had a negative word about anybody. Smiled always, and had that great inviting air about him. He was intelligent and creative; a great problem solver. Everyone that came in contact with Ray would always have a positive comment about their encounter. There are very few people who possess Ray's genuine unique combination of qualities. His presence in this world will be sorely missed.
