James Edward Ray

Andrew and Amanda, I think of your dad often, remembering what a wonderful person and good friend he was.

Many relatives live in Tn.& Ky.JAMES WAS PRESENT AT MANY SPECIAL OCCASIONS INCLUDING FAMILY REUNIONS, WEDDINGS, FUNERALS ETC. Even though we were many miles apart, he acknowlodged the need for family care and support. He was loved by all and will be missed by all,

To my sister-in-law, Sandra Watkins, and the rest of the Ray Family my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Andrew and Amanda,
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
I do not know if you remember me, but I worked with your dad in Raleigh NC. We often visited your family when we lived in Raleigh. James and I have kept in touch and talked by phone often. A year or more ago, James actually visited me here in Fancy Farm KY.
I have always felt close to your dad and have been a long time friend. He was such a gentle giant, a truly wonderful man.
I know that no words can relieve your grief...

I worked with James at DFAS and the State
Department. I enjoyed working with him. He will be missed. Sheldon "Abe" Abrams

I really got to know James well through Toastmasters at work. He was a strong leader and encourager and established our local chapter. It wouldn't have happened without him. From James, I learned much about public speaking. He cheerfully and generously shared his knowledge, time and rich life experiences and was truly loved by all. He will be greatly missed.

Ronnie and I will carry the memory of James with us forever... He was a wonderful co-worker, but, most of all, he was a wonderful friend.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I worked with James at the Department of State and found that he was a joy to work with. He will be missed.
