My parents introduced me to Ray at Big Apple Bagels several months ago. We loved seeing him there, and he got to meet my son, Charlie, who is almost 6 months old now. Ray was a very sweet man, and I know he will be missed by many people. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends. And thank you, Ray, for your service to our country. I'm blessed to have met you, and I will miss saying hi to you at the bagel shop.

Ray and I would go to the Soo Locks in the summer and play Dixieland music for tips. What a great guy and...

Dear Roe family, I was so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I so enjoyed seeing him around town. I have such fond memories of both of your parents. Sincerely, Mona & John Suchocki

Loved watching you play piano and sing for the many residents at Meadow View while your bride Mary Jane would stand right at the piano and smile at every note you played. Heaven is going to have a great band leader.
Thank you for your music Ray.

Jennifer and family; I am so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your dad. Dads hold the most special of places in our hearts and I know how much your dad was loved and respected. Sending prayers to your family.
