Dear Ray, Marcia and Family


I had the wonderful opportunity to play with Ray thru out the 40 years of knowing him. His musical talent expressed so much of his warm and generous spirit. It always touched my soul and so many others thru out the world. He was truly an international musician You touched so many lives. You will be so missed that words alone cannot begin to express the void I as well as other musicians now feel.
