H. Ray Burns

H. Ray Burns was such a bright light with such love for his family. His presence is still felt today and will always be considered such a beautiful blessing for all who knew him. He was the closest thing to a real father that I ever had in my life, and I will always be so grateful! Judy

What a great man. Ray was the most intellegent and kind man I ever had the pleasure to work with. His humor always made each job fun. You could not know Ray with out becoming a better person he just had that effect on people. Heaven is a better place now and I look forward to seeing Ray again there. Your SME buddy Earl

I'm sad for the loss of a friend. I met Ray during my first business visit to the US and he took so much of his time to show me around and make me feel welcome.

To Clay Burns Sr. and Family, You have our prayers and thoughts, in the time of your bereavement. May God Bless you and keep you.
