I miss my friend and Brother. Ray was fun to be around and could make me laugh at the funny things he would say. I enjoyed being in the many Scottish Rite degrees with Ray. In one degree Ray played a Rabbi and me a Catholic Priest. Just think about that !!!! ha ha. Rest in PEACE dear friend and Brother.

I will always remember the kindness of Ray. He shared so many photos of my parents from "back in the day" on Facebook as well as keeping in touch with all of his friends and family. I know you will be missed greatly, Ray, and that you were loved deeply. Rest forever in the arms of the angels!
