Thinking of you Ray. Remembering your great poetry and friendship. Your unique and remarkable self will always be remembered. Su

Ray was someone of great integrity, solemnity and also humor. He worked so diligently at both his job and his poetry. His posthumous book "The Bell" is a must read. He was so full of foresight about the society he lived in that many of his poems could have been written now. He is very much missed by many and all cats. T.Doves

Ray, We love and miss you every day. RIP Always Love Karen, Bryan, and Brook

Dear Ray, you are in my thoughts and I miss you very much. You were always thoughtful and charming and a delightful friend. Rest peacefully

I am hoping to re-issue an edition of Ray's poems this year through EXOT BOOKS. Could Karen or Carl get in touch with me so I can get permission and arrange details? Many thanks, [email protected]

Dear Ray, I miss you, your wry smile, bright mind and wonderful poetry. You are always in my thoughts and fond memories. Rest peacefully. Blessings on you and your family. Su

It doesn't get any easier Ray. Love and miss you so much! Karen, Bryan and Brook

Its been many years, yet Ray's voice and wry smile are right where we left off. I wish you were here Ray. Letting us know the straight story of what's going on. Treating us to some beautiful metrical poem of your own or a recitation of a Shakespeare sonnet. I will always appreciate you Ray. And am honored that you were my friend.

I miss Ray's kindness, his wicked sense of humor, his ability to spot and call out "fake news" wherever he saw it. I bet he would have had some wonderful stories to tell about our world today.
