I've been thinking a lot about family lately, especially since I recently got married. I would be blessed to one day be HALF as fun, caring and loving of a friend, husband and father as "Crazy Ray" was to all of us.
I will never forget the great memories we all had at the house together, and how warm and welcoming Ray made you feel as soon as you walked through his door.
[zikhronah livrakha] May Ray's memory be a blessing.

Becky, Jeff, Paul, John and family members,
We are shocked and sadden having learned this morning of Ray's passing. We have known each other for many years and have wonderful memories. Always enjoyed Ray's stories about his military times and the other things he liked to share. He was always warm and outgoing, no matter how long it was between visits when we all saw each other again it is as though we had all seen each other just a day or two before.
He leaves behind his precious Becky and three fine sons, grandchildren and many friends, a beautiful legacy. We will miss you, Ray. I pray for you Becky and family the comfort and presence of the Lord and peace that passes understanding.
With Much Love, Ellen and family San Antonio

He will forever be missed and hold a special place in my heart.
