A great man, with a great family

For the relatively short time that I had good fortune to know Ray, Sr., I enjoyed bringing him a cigar and watch him find a part hidden to anyone else but location known precisely by him. Talking with him about his collection and hearing the stories behind the cars and outboard motors was always pure joy. He was a character and don't we all want and need such characters in our lives. Be at peace, Ray, Sr. Be at peace.

Deepest condolences to the family. A great guy, a good friend for so many years.

My condolences to the Helger family. Ray was always so welcoming when my father and I came to visit. They were so welcoming that my husband and I continued to visit after my father died. Ray was a lover of people, animals, birds, cars, boats and storytelling. We will miss him.

I first met Ray some 20/25 years ago? I needed some parts and Ray was always fair and good to me !! Then meeting Raymond, just taking a ride to Little Compton just to say hi on a Saturday morning. He was a real good guy !! Condolences to the Helger family.
