sorry to hear of the death of ray rau. i bowled with him at polish falcons before moving to texas

We were neighbors. We live on Briggs Street.

Please accept our condolences. I grew up with Ray's brother Jim Rau.

Please accept our sincerest sympathy
for the loss of Ray. He was a kind and generous soul that helped me tremendously in the years we worked together. I can look back to many conversations, even years later, and reflect on the genuine person that Ray always was whenever we spoke. We often arranged to have lunch together (not often enough!!) and I will always treasure those memories in my heart. Our hopes and prayers are with you and your loved ones in this time of loss and we would pray...

My prayers go to Ray's family for your loss. I was shocked to hear of his death. I am a News Photographer and friend of Ray's since his Chuck Smith days.
