Not sure what to say?

Ray became a friend when I met him in the fall of 2008. He helped me with a project I was working on and offered his expertise at no charge. I was so honored to have him looking over my shoulder and humbled by his experience and background. Ray always had a smile on his face and was always a positive person. Even though he was dealing with his own cancer, he comforted me as I was dealing with the loss of my father in December 2008 from prostate cancer. For this, I felt very close to Ray. ...

I met Ray at Bell Helicopter over 20 years ago. I remember his calm, professional, and happy demeanor. I recently visited with him again during his illness. He was the same as I remembered from years before. Ray was special and will be missed.

Ray and I used the same software for analysis, had lunch once, and talked on the phone several times. I respected his knowledge and expertise. He will definitely be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
