Theresa & family, We were deeply saddened to learn of Rays death. Our hearts are heavy but joyful that God gave us the chance to know him. Ray was a remarkable man who encouraged people to become involved in their community. Ray loved his family and his Plfd community. He was Mr Democrat. He gave me the "political bug" & nurtured me. His laugh & enthusiam was contagious. As you & your family pass through your journey of grief, gain strength in knowing Rays giving spirit will always remain...

Ray Barnes Family (Julie),
So sorry to hear of Ray's passing. He was a good (great) man and always went out of his way to be kind. When our dad was in the nursing home, Ray's visits cheered him up. He was a good friend.
All of our family appreciated his efforts, even though we couldn't all make the service.
Prayers to all of you on your loss.
Sincerely,
Margie Irwin Mostyn

My thoughts are with you and your Family, Ray was a man of great integrity and always had a kind word for everyone. I last saw Ray at the Rialto and he was looking forward to serving the patrons and enjoying the show. He was a leader in our community and he will be missed.

Ray was like another father to me, since my Dad passed away before I moved to Plainfield. I and the rest of the Plainfield Democrats will always remember Ray, and will miss him.
