Carol,
We were so sorry to hear of Ray's passing.
Sincerely,
Buzz and Judee Freund and family

Dear Carol & family,

I was so very sorry to learn of Ray's passing. Ray was instrumental in hiring me at Martin Insurance in 1986 and I worked with him for 15 years. My son, Jeremy used to do yardwork for Ray during his high school years. Whenever Jeremy got into a financial bind (which was often!) Ray was so kind to pay him in advance.

When Jeremy died, Ray was someone I could talk to, because he had suffered a similar loss years ago. I'll always treasure his comforting...

Rick, Val and family, I'm praying that the Lord holds you firm during this hard time. And that you hold onto his promises. We miss you all out in Toledo.

Carol, I was so sorry to hear of your loss and my prayers are with you and Ray's family in this difficult time.

God is the Light, in Him there is no darkness at all. If we walk in the light,as He is the light, we have fellowship with one another.

Ray was a favorite at JT's Restaurant and I'm sure I speak for all the staff and owners when I say how much he will be missed. I waited on him for years and he was always quick to ask how I was doing and seemed to sincerely care and want to know. Plus, he was always a crack up and a good tipper to boot. My condolences to all of his family.

Rick, I am sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are for you and your family. You spoke of your Dad many times and I know how much you loved him. From the size of this guest book I can see that he will be missed by many. God bless you, Val and all your family.

Dear Rick, Valerie and family:
Our hearts go out to each of you for the loss of your dad. We enjoyed a special freindship for years, from the time we both worked for Hartford Ins. as I was already in Longview and he was in Seattle....the opening came up at Martins and I told them they couldn't hire a better man than L. Ray Strange..... and the rest is history. I had a great and long friendship with your parents and family for many years. Peggy and I will always cherish the memories of the...
