Raymond Bassett

Ralph and I have such great memories. We will never forget his expertise in photography and we had a little secret about one certain photo! Loved his humor.

I recently heard of Ray's passing last fall. He photographed my wedding in 1997, my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in 2015, and we just missed him for our son's Bat Mitzvah this year. He was a phenomenal photographer and a kind and friendly man with a good sense of humor. He managed our events and kept people feeling at ease during the chaos. He helped me pic my photos with tremendous patience, and I am grateful to have had him part of my family's special events. He is missed.

My condolences to the family. Ray was a prince of a man & a true mensch!

Ray was especially dear to our family and his kind and light humored manner brought warmth to all who met him. My father had the utmost respect and trust in him and his talent, speaking highly of him whenever his name was mentioned. Ray´s gentle spirit and skills insured his success in business and life. Ray provided lasting memories for so many in...

His kindness, sensitivity and calm demeanor produced many wonderful photos for us at CBI. He will be greatly missed and...
