Ray was such a good person and great friend to everyone at Real World Testing. Ray and I decided that a wall in our office was not straight after a remodel. We couldn't get the contractor to see what we seen. So, lol, Ray and I got a hammer and found a solution to the problem. Lol Needless to say, the contractor came back and fixed it and we shocked the entire office. Lol. Job well done, Ray! I'll see you soon and we'll have a good laugh.
We all miss you my friend.
