Not sure what to say?

Ray is the most intelligent, sensitive and honest man whom I have the privilege of knowing; in his new life his grteatest talents continue to serve mankind, as he yet teaches us to love and to respect one another without qualification or pretention. Ray Kissiah is alive in the hearts & minds of those of us who shared moments with him and seek in trying times to emulate a fraction of his greatness.

A wonderful man, a wonderful life, a cherished friend.

I am 81 years old and a "double" first cousin to Ray. His Dad, "Uncle Clark" and my Dad, Adam Mark, were identicle twins. I always looked up to Ray and his brothers Herman, Edward, Clifford and Joe as heroes and mentors.
What an extroardinary group of advisors to look up to!

He will be missed

My memories of Ray are from Alamogordo Music Theatre, especially
"Oklahoma". He was a very special and talented person then and his life-time accomplishments also special and very significant. He was admired by all. Naomi Morgan, Scottsdale, Arizona

I did not know Mr. Kissiah very well, but my mom worked for him, so i saw him a few times. Every time i saw him he had a smile on his face that lit up the room. He meant the world to my mom, and he will be greatly missed.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We have many, many wonderful memories of our times with your family. We send our love to all. Bill & Neely Laubendorfer and Pamela L. Doyon.

My thoughts are with you.

I remember Mr. Kissiah when I worked at Alamgordo Physical Therapy. He was such a gentle soul. So polite, always upbeat, and always had a smile for everyone.

My condolences to his family and friends. He was truly a gem and will be greatly missed.

My heart goes out to the family and staff of this fine gentleman. He held a special place in my heart.
