I'll always remember our hunting and fishing trips , especially when I was younger and we all went camping and fishing. Those were good times. We'll miss you Uncle Ray. Nephew David

I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD WHEN I MET RAY MY FAMILY MOVED THREE HOUSES AWAY FROM HIM AND HIS FAMILY.HE WAS THE MOSE KIND HEARTED MAN IVE EVER KNOWN LOVED LIFE AND PEOPLE IT WAS AN HONOR TO HAVE HIM IN MY LIFE FOR YEARS. HE WILL BE DEARLY MISSED,BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. GOD BLESS.

Ray was a big part in my early time in the program, now with almost 30 years the first inmprestions are what counted to keep me going hope that others had the same thougts.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. I worked with Ray for over 15 years and he always had a smile and a helping hand. May your loving memories help comfort you.

Thanks Ray for sharing from your heart, you may not know it but you helped me get grounded in the program. I remember sitting in a meeting with Ray and another man, together they had 100 yrs and that made a big impression on me. May God bless Ray's family in this time of sorrow.

Ray was a very compassionate man when it came to people in recovery, He went out of his way to connect with you and let you know you were loved. His words gave me hope and his hugs were always strong and assuring. Several of my family members know Ray and he has a special place in all our hearts. To his family Thank you for sharing a wonderful man, and Ray your Legacy as a Friend of Bill W's lives on...
keep an eye on us down here Ray and let me feel you in the meetings.
Peace &...

I enjoyed when Ray shared his experience, strength and hope. I was sorry to hear of his passing. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

God took home an amazing man. He gave so much of himself it is really hard to put into words. He was a friend, mentor and all around good samaritan. I will miss him as will a lot of people at the Wednesday night meeting. Ray and I had a lot of laughs together and I will remember our times together for a long, long time. Tell Bill and Bob HI for me. "Wait for me Ray as I am not far behind," your friend Del.

To Ray's Family,
He was truly a wonderful person, I met him & Pennie nearly 50 years ago when I met & married Bruce Smith. My husband served his (steamfitter's) apprenticeship under Ray & always gave him the credit for his success in the trade as the years went by.
With my sincere sympathy,
