Dr. J. Ray Ritzman

Ray was one of my closest buddies in high school, the neighborhood, and at church. We had many adventures together. Actually seven of we guys stayed close until one by one we married and went separate ways. Nevertheless, we have stayed in contact all our adult lives (including each wife) and all gathered when we could just to enjoy our great inclusive friendship. Anybody, who missed out on Ray's dry wit has missed out on some laughter!

Marilyn, we want you to know we've been thinking about you and praying for your family. We plan to do our very best to be there for the funeral Saturday. We love you -- Jerry & Jeannette

I will miss those wonderful clever Christmas letters. I send deepest sympathy to Marilyn and all the family. I´m grateful I had the privilege to know Ray and have some fun times with him and Marilyn.
