Read MoreI remember playing with Ray at the San Francisco Junior tournament at Harding Park in 1968. What a nice young man and excellent golfer. Sad to learn that he passed away so early in life.

Ray was my best buddy in high school. We lived a couple blocks from each other and hung out a lot. Ray used to take me to Harding Park to play some golf. I was not much of a golfer but he was amazing. Ray even got me a summer job at the driving range there. I used to drive that little cage truck around picking up balls while he used various clubs hitting balls at me. We had a blast. Miss you Ray.

Dear Donna and family,
Ray was a bright part of my life growing up. He was a wonderful man and so much fun to be with. We send our deepest sympathies but know that he is finally at peace after battling for so long. Gone but never forgotten.
We will pray for him and for peace for you, Michele and family.
Love,
Debbie and Joe Laremore

Dear Donna, Michele, Michael, Vince and Family,
Such suffering Ray endured. The only solace is he's at peace. And, certainly will be missed by many. Our hearts and sympathy are with you.
Love,

Condolences to the Pellegrini Family. I'll always remember the Friday rabbits at Harding followed by sessions at the Boathouse, topped off by slipping Pete a few bucks to jump the line at Joe's.
I'm still trying to emulate you by knocking in 3 footers like they were tap ins.
Rest in Peace, Ray
