We will all miss Ray but we will all benefit from his leadership and friendship for years to come. I learned a lot from Ray as he mentored me on the Junior Achievement Board and on the American Humanics/ASU board. Ray, you were a true community leader. It was an honor to know and work along side you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ray's family. Ray was a mentor and friend who helped our community immeasurably. His years of leadership of our American Humanics/ASU board, among many other civic contributions, was unparalleled. We will miss Ray and his wonderful intellect, humor and commitment to “service above self.” God Bless you and your family.
