Ray,

Thanks for the memories in the short time we spent together in your final months we shared memories of the good times passed when life was simpler when we both had similar values.

I miss you Ray and I'm certain Little Deb misses you even more,

My thoughts and prayers are with the Boatwright family at this difficult time. Diane was my close friend in grammar school and junior high school so I hung out at the Boatwright's home a lot. Ray and Sally were kind and generous to me and I have many fond memories of time spent with Diane and her family. Sending healing wishes of comfort and peace to the entire family.

Ray you are the best, thankyou for giving me a job in 1970 at Avard-Garth. You were a fair and generous employer and friend

A candle for all the love that shown through your smile.

Ray, we will miss you so much! You taught me a lot about generosity.
Much love, Kay
