Not sure what to say?

I remember Raymond when we were young and he lived in Brooklyn near Jim Myers. He was truly lovely and I lost you h with him.

Ray was a uniquely fine person. Very capable, not one to brag, and just a great friend. I think about Ray often, he is surely missed. I hope his family is doing well.

Dear Sherry and Family,

Because our computers have been down, we were unaware of your tragic loss until I spoke on the phone with Doug and Shirley Brown on Memorial Day. I had to deliver the news to Ron (Crew Chief with the Commancheros) who knew and highly respected Ray as one of the finest men and pilots he has ever known. Ron is still reeling from the shock and grieving deeply. His computer is still down so I am writing this. We are so deeply sorry for all you are going through and...

Dear Sherry
I met Ray in the late 70's in the National Guard and again in the 80's with Resorts AirLine considered him a good friend . He will be missed. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Your all in my prayers

I met Ray in 1973 in Saigon. He always called me Christopher. Unfortunately, these last 40 years or so we would only cross paths once or twice a year. I miss him already.

Dear Sherry ... Please except our Sincere Sympathy.
I was the Supply Sgt for the Comanchero's and proudly served with Ray. He was not only a great pilot but a friend to all. We all loved Ray and will miss our combat brother. Ray was always good to me and we had a lot of fun. I still owe Ray a pair of flight gloves... I guess I'll deliver them when I see him in heaven. God bless you Ray and God bless your family. RIP - brother...

We were close friends in Nam and I will keep him in my prayers

To the Ferrante family, it was my honor to haveserved with Ray in the Comancheros 70-71. Although I was flight operations, being Comanchero Control, I talked to and met all the pilots daily. A finer group of men I have yet to meet. I will continue to keep Ray in my thoughts. Peace

Dear Sherry & Family,

I am so very sorry for you. I flew with Ray at Resort's Airlines and remained friends with him for 30 years. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

With Sincere Sympathy for all,

Dick Dutson
