We will miss Ray as we have his wife Jan Retez. Beautiful people. Enjoyed Ray and his wife pass out quirky sunglasses to the little ones who tagged along with their parents for a fantastic meal. Everytime we went to the Whole Enchilada Restaurant he would interact with the patrons. Always good to see him. He has now gone to join Jan whom I'm sure he missed dearly. RIP. Thank You. You were a delight. Truly, Bonita

We visit the Whole Enchilada frequently and enjoyed the food very much. Ray was so friendly and welcoming. We did receive his lotto tickets as well. Such a precious man and we will truly miss him. Our condolences and prayers to his family and friends.

My condolences to Ray´s loved ones. He gave so much joy to everyone! We have been hoing to the Whole Enchilada (and Moss Landing Inn) in the early 80´s. We had a nice, short, visit with Ray at the Haute Enchilada shortly before he passed and he was still smiling and enjoying the patrons. What a guy! Ray will be missed!
