Ray was a special part of my childhood. Growing up, my sisters and I spent a lot of time with him, as he was part of our extended family. We goofed around, talked about music and laughed with him constantly. He was a big kid at heart. We are all very saddened by the news of his passing. He was such a wonderful person. I am blessed that we had a chance to know him. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this very difficult time.

I was very shocked and saddened to hear that Ray had passed. I knew him since I was a child and he always made me laugh with his fun, goofy sense of humor. He seemed like a kid at heart no matter what his age was. I feel very lucky to have known him. My condolences to his friends and family.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Ray's passing. We grew up with Ray as a part of our extended family and we saw him quite often. He was funny, great to talk to and very kind. I spent many hours talking to him about music, which he was very passionate about. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Margie, Barb, Kathy, and Jeff. I just heard of Rays' passing and am deeply saddened. We haven't talked in a few years but I have many great memories of your brother that go back to when we were kids. I guess all I can say is that I am shocked. My condolences to you all. I have contacted Wayne and Paul to let them know. I will let my daughters know tomorrow. We will always miss him as you all will. Craig
