Not sure what to say?

Like others, I am still just getting caught up after Covid and the reentry process. I´m sorry for your loss of your husband/dad. What an exemplary life he led. Our family lived next door to yours in Opa Locka, FL in a cluster of four new houses in an old neighborhood. My dad was also a Marine at the Air Station. This was 1957-58 at was at the beginning of Ray´s career. As a high schooler, I thought he and Bev were pretty glamorous. Randy and Diane were little; Bambi was the baby. All...

I am just finding out about Ray´s passing! He was one of my all time favorite bosses. I always laughed at his stories and he and Admiral Seeley were "Top Gun" before the movie! He was a hoot! Great times at Travel Quest with him! My prayers go out to all of you! I loved it when he talked about his kids and grand kids. He was so funny talking about the Brit´s are coming! What a crowd y'all were and you all brought him such joy! He will never be forgotten.

Rusty and Family, I was so sorry to hear your Father had passed away. When we were working together at Vought, I always enjoyed hearing the stories about your Father and your family as you were growing up. He was a wonderful Father and you have wonderful memories of him that you will cherish forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time in your life. May God bless you all. Respectfully, Travis and Patty Irons Arlington, Texas

God Bless Colonel, my prayers go out you and your family during this time.

Diane and family, we are so very sorry to hear of your loss! Please know we have you all in our prayers.

We love you all so much. You are in our thoughts and prayers, especially today.
