Not sure what to say?

It is now August 10, 2023 and I just wanted to add to my message from 2021 that when I was in the group that was given training in portrait photography from Ray Manley my maiden name was Klaber. That was prior to July 7, 1984. What I miss the most was his professionalism, supportive interest in others being able to produce excellent images as he had done throughout his career and his incredible talent.

I miss the training in Portrait Photography that he offered to the members of the AZ/NM Chapter of the Biological Photographic Association that lived in Tucson in the early 1980's.

Ray Manley was the greatest!!
Attached is a photo he took for the SAE Fraternity's record album cover, "SAE Sings" which was recorded and released in 1961. The photo is of Old Main Fountain at U/A depicting some of the SAE songsters, serenading Brent Berge and Sally Pierce.

KIM AND FAMILY,MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYER'S WILL BE YOU ALL.HE WAS A VERY GOOD MAN,AND WILL BE TRULY MISSED.

Mr. Manley will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to all his family. Through his eyes, and his camera, he recorded his legacy for the entire world to see. Time stands still, and the beauty is there for us to enjoy forever. His book “Ray Manley’s World Travels” will be treasured and enjoyed. Thank you.

Even though we can't be with you today, our thoughts are with you. My mom is sorry to hear of your loss as am I. His pictures were beautiful and very heart felt, they have touched the lives of people all around the world and especially those of us who are Native Arizonians. He will be greatly missed but fondly remembered. With our Deepest Sympathy and Love Always, Caroline & Belinda (Cass)

Long before I moved to Arizona, I fell in love with it thanks to your skills and your insight. You have left your footprints on my heart.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
