We love you Wilson's, each and every one of you. Our hearts are broken along with all of yours. He was a light that we always wanted to see when we made it around to the get togethers. It will never feel the same, there are no words except Rob and I are so sorry, which fixes nothing, but we love you and wish somehow could ease your pain even a little. There are no words.

Deb and family,
I'm so sorry to learn of Ray's passing. The photos flash thru my mind showing snippets of all the times in Big Lake with the Wilson family. Our dads worked together, our moms played hours and hours of cards. Such fond memories and great times growing up. Ray was always such a sweet guy. He and Bro Randy spent many hours together in those early days. I pray for you and your family the strength to get through the days ahead and the remembering all the beautiful memories of your husband, father and grandfather.

Ray was a great person who is going to be missed. We were blessed to be neighbors with him growing up & enjoyed his great sense of humor all the time. Whenever I worked on job sites where Ray was at he always made a point to come over and say hi along with a good story or joke. He will be missed, What a great guy.
