Ray, it is impossible that you have left us. Your energy, humor, care for students, and love of literature inspired those of us who were lucky to work with you. And believe me, I know how many times you had my back. Your loyalty to friends was so very real. Blessings to your family. Love, Kathleen Adams

My thoughts go out to Dr. Sargent's family and loved ones. He was my English teacher for (3) years at Thunderbird and although tough and intimidating at times, he was my favorite all-time teacher! Some of my best memories of high school involved my experience in his class. He has no doubtedly touched so many lives. Rest in Peace.

He was Mr. Sargent when I had him for sophomore English. He made literature come alive. An excellent teacher who expected only the very best from his students. Many good memories. Am sorry to hear of his passing. -Janet Falaschetti Sandoval (AZ)

Thank you does not even come close to expressing my gratitude for all you did for me over the years. You have always been my favourite teacher and a good friend who is never far from my thoughts. I learned more from you than you could know and I am so appreciative. Thank you for your care, your guidance, and for just being you.
Miss you.
