To the family,

Donald Ray was a friend of my father's and I had known him for quite some time. I remember the first time I had heard his special laugh, that I myself cracked up laughing. He always had that gift to make people laugh, and along with that gift came the ability to make a lot of friends, which he had. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have known him for a short while,yet I shall never forget his infectous smile.
His giggle, and laugh was a special blend, and it is easy to see why so many called him a friend..
May he rest softly, in the house of laughter and joy.
