RAY was like a third son to me. Billy & Linda's kids grew up with my kids and we shared many precious moments over his lifetime. I will miss him and the big bear hug he would give me. I am so thankful that the last thing he said to me was that he loved me. Rest in Peace Ray and I will join you someday. Boogie
