Bobbi and family,
Ray was a great soldier and man. Our sincere condolences.
He made wonderful memories for all who knew him.
'Til we all meet again at the great 58 reunion in the sky.
He was blessed by everyone in his family.
RIP, especially at West Point. God Bless.

Ray Riggan was a fine man, and a good soldier, and a West Point classmate we shall all miss. Well done, Ray, be thou at peace.

Ray,
About that quill you got for "unfolded underwear" when we roomed together, well I was in a bit of a hurry that morning so I did a 1-minute fold drill and got one stack a bit mussed up, then at the last minute, I got the stacks mixed up and you got the demerits while I skipped a day. You're not going to sit on me again, are you? I'll swap clouds with you later - OK?
I always loved you, you clod!
Wayne
'58 B-2 too!

RIP Ray. You were a great credit to B-2, the 2nd Regiment, and our class. God Bless.

Bobbie and Family: I am grieved to receive news today of R.B.'s passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. I last saw R.B. at the Richmond VA Hospital when he was hooked up to a crash cart while awaiting his heart transplant. His courage and cheerfulness were remarkable in view of his grave condition. We had a grand time
telling stories and reminiscing
about our younger days. Besides his participation as an usher in my wedding in February,1959, we were 5 times classmates. ...

Take good care of him, Lord. He was a good friend during our challenging years at B-2 West Point, always inspiring to us all.
