Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for, and saddened by Ray´s passing. He was such a kind person with a greet sense of humor and wonderful photographic skill. I have so many fond memories of our times together working on our high school yearbook, our photography senior projects, and time hanging out with him and friends during soccer season and the school year. His loss feels so large and will definitely leave a hole in my heart, as well as in our school class as a whole.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I fondly remember Ray as a kind and gentle friend during our junior school and high school years.

Yanagisawa family- I am so sorry to hear about the unexpected passing Ray. He is one of the most kind hearted people on the planet. Condolences during this difficult time.

Sending prayers to Ray's family during this extremely difficult time. He was a special and unique soul, always ready to help out and problem solve when it came to anything technical. I will especially miss his quirky sense of humor and his enjoyment in making others laugh!
