As a class mate and friend of Robin, I knew Ray Ray well. He was a part of our high school years that were unforgettable. /I am very sorry to hear of his passing and I hope his life after Hampton was joyful.

I am so sorry to hear about Ray-Ray passing. I remember him from my years at Winnacunnett. He would always have a smile on his face every day. He was an icon in the hallways, and at all the sporting events. Ray-Ray is someone you would never forget. I'm sure he will be dearly missed by all.

It's sad to hear about "Ray Ray" ! He was always around during my high school years in Hampton durning the mid / late 70's. He loved to drive. I used to let him drive my car around the parking lot at the school after everyone went home ... he would be so happy. He had a great smile and always had a "high-five" for everyone. You would know when he was dissappointed in you as well, he'd shake his finger at you, like your grandmother would !! I've often wondered what happened to him over...

I will always remember him as the unofficial mayor of Hampton Beach throughout the 70’s. Everyone knew him and liked him. Ray Ray will be missed. May he...

As an athlete from Exeter, Ray Ray was a staple at every Exeter/Hampton sporting event I played in or attended throughout the mid to late 1970's and early 80's. He would always remember if you were a player from Exeter, even years later, and in his good natured way, would give you the business if/when Hampton OR Exeter would win. From the Exeter view in those days Ray Ray was as much a part of the Hampton sports experience as any of the players themselves. He was a great guy and loved his...

So sorry to hear about Ray Ray. He was the only person as I was growing up in Hampton that if he was hitchhiking I always picked him up. He was a good guy.
