Not sure what to say?

As one of Marcia's friends from childhood, I was so fortunate to spend many, many hours at the Raby home when I was growing up. Mr. and Mrs. Raby have both been such special people in my life, and I have been blessed to know Joanne, Janie and my special friend, Marcia. I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Raby's death. He was a special, special man. Love to all...

Uncle Ken was special to me always showing leadership in kindness. He taught me much in the years. Always remember Christmas eve as our families gather with his mother Nettie. God Bless all the family. Rest in Peace until we meet again on the last day. Donald Raby

Ken was my hero. He took this piece of Rule High School mus...made it it into clay and molded me into a man that I am today. Ken recruited my wife and I and,we worked in D.C. a week after high school. He was a fantastic gentleman and i adored his dedication to the justice system.

I met Ken in 1970 when he helped me as an applicant to be an Agent with the FBI. Due to his help and advice I began a 26 year career as an FBI Agent a few months later.

Praying for you as you grieve.

I was always so proud of my uncle for all of his accomplishments. He helped me greatly many times in my life. Although we were far apart, I always felt he was a part of my life and I will miss him greatly.
All my love to Aunt Mickey, Joann, Janie and Marcia and families.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76)

I believe Mr. Raby may be a distant relative as my GF was William H Raby of Concord TN. If so it is an honor to have someone who accomplished so much with the life the Lord gave him.
God Bless Him.

Marcia, Mrs. Raby, all the girls and family....Dottie and I are so sorry about Ken. What a fine gentle man and gentalman he was. I learned a lot from him and I shall miss him very much. Love you all and God Bless. Foster D. Arnett, Jr.
