Not sure what to say?

Your Dad was a wonderful kid d man. Prayers and condolences for the family.

I knew Ray and his family at Moffett Memorial Baptist Church in Danville, Virginia. Ray lived the Christian faith. His love of people and life was reflected in daily living. He never met a stranger. The job of "Chief" of the Travelers Protective Association for 16 years was the perfect fit for Ray with his lovely wife Virginia by his side. I moved from Danville to Durham, NC in 1973. In recent years we stayed in touch by email and an occasional phone call. The friendship was a...

Rest in peace dad .

Ray and Virginia were friends and neighbors for many years. We were the third house from the pool and we socialized with them and several of our neighbors. Our children adored them, especially enjoyed Ray entertaining them at the pool, especially with his train whistle! He will be missed by many. Ray and Virginia were a wonderful couple, neighbor and great friends. I’m sure they are together now and now the heavens smiling and laughing with them.

Rest in God's Peace, Daddy Ray. You will always be loved my many. No one can forget you.

RIP Mr. Ray. Tell Ms. Virginia we say hello. You were always one of our favorites in the pharmacy, as no matter how you felt, you showed us respect and compassion. It was always good talking with you and sharing life's little moments. You're missed. My condolences to your family. Find peace in knowing the compassion, respect, and the smiles Mr Ray brought to the life of others.

Ray and Virginia were long time friends to me and my wife Violet. We shared many good times together and many years during our TPA years. During that time we had the pleasure of their company several times when they were in Colorado and stayed in our home. Some of our happier times were when we spent time together at the conventions.

He will be greatly missed but I know some day we will meet again. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Ray, sending my deepest condolences to the family. My grandparents lived next door to Ray and Virginia for many years and I grew up across the street as well. Lots of great memories of Ray filled with many conversations and good deeds. Heaven gained an amazing human being.

Jack & I, along with our extended family, send our love and heartbreak over the passing of our dear Uncle Ray, a true man of God. Your infectious laugh, and love of life will forever be remembered. Your shared faith and love for the Lord touched everyone you and Virginia met. We know Jesus welcomed you home with open arms saying, "Well done my good and faithful servant". Just once more, we'd love to hear our phone ring with your ever familiar voice.... "Hi there, Ray Robertson here in...
