Pat, dear friend,

I send you my love and sympathy.

I keep thinking what a good-hearted man Ray was. I always enjoyed his quiet humor, his kindness, and his sincere, caring spirit. It was wonderful to see the joy and love in your blessed marriage and your loving parenting.

May God bless and embrace you with His love and comfort.

Pat - I remember well, and with such fondness your arrival in Wolfeboro and the many great times we shared both personally and professionally back when Bowers & Merena was just starting out. I am so glad to have known you and Ray during such happy times and will always treasure the memory of that experience. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy. I am sending love and hugs...

Ray had hired me back in 1983 to work with him at Bowers and Merena. We were so much younger than and full of spirit. He was the great facilitator. He accomplished so much and all the while remained a true gentleman. I have thought of you often Ray and will surely miss you.

Offering our deepest condolences at this difficult time.

I went back to the late 1960's with Ray, dealing with him in his capacity for Paramount Intl. in Ohio and continuing thru his business with Bowers and Merena. He was always a calm reserved individual and enjoyed numismatics, his profession. All numismatists will remember him fondly and Fran and I send Pat and his family our sincere condolences.
