Ray and I met in our Junior year in High School and often had lunch together in both our Junior and Senior years. He had a great sense of humor and we had so many interesting discussions. What I remember most about Ray was his concern and compassion for everyone he knew based on his strong faith. And also his lighthearted then favorite expression..."Don't Take Any Wooden Nickels!" Condolences to his family, friends and of course our classmates at Johnstown High School. RIP

Prayers for family as we mourn the passing of Ray. He left his Santa legacy and wonderful sense of humor. So sorry he spent his last years in poor health, but so thankful he made his way to Kentucky for the 2013 Searle Family Reunion.
