Dear Aunt Nancy, Uncle Ray may be gone however, in our memories he will live on. I have so many loving memories of Uncle Ray. We had such great times together. Every time I see a boxer I think of him. I will remember him as a kind, funny, playful, loving Uncle. He will be missed. My prayers are with you, Raymond and Chris and their families. May Uncle Ray rest in peace. Love always.

Aunt Nancy,
As a young child I have very found memories of Uncle Ray. Spending time with y'all at your home. I remember him letting me look at his tattoos and explaining why he got them. I also remember the 2 Boxers y'all had. Funny what simple little things you remember that have had an impact on your life! My prayers are with you, Ray Ray, and Chris and all the family. He will be missed. Thank you Uncle Ray for the memories.

Love you all,
Janet (Schaupp) Bell
