Not sure what to say?

We are so sorry to know just now about Ray last year! God bless you and family! Sergio Valença and Gina from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. email [email protected]

Elaine, I will never forget the kindness you and Ray gave me as your paper boy back in 1959-60. You guys always had something for me to eat or drink at the end of my route. If I overslept, you would call my house and tell me to get going. I also remember you taking me to go water skiing on the St. Croix river in Hudson. What a treat. Sorry to hear about Ray, you have my deepest sympathy.

Elaine,and family, my family will mis Ray deeply, from the minute I met him he was ready to give me the shirt off his back, from loaning me boat motor, to buying a.a cowboy hat to go along with Jasons cowboy boots, he treated my Jeremy and Ryan became sunchgood friends, Jamie and the rest of the Southward klan treated us all like family. We will miss him dearly and we are here if you need anything.

To the Ray Southward family. I'm so sorry to hear of Ray's passing.

We have so many stories we could tell about our relationship with Ray over many years.

Both as a friend, his many years of towing vehicles for us, and a great snow mobile trip to the Bayfield, Wisconsin area.

As Bill Henry said, Ray was one of the greatest guys you could ever know.

Can you imagine when Ray meets up with Dick Orth?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Jeff and Family,

I am deeply sorry about your loss. I lost my father-in-law (my best friend) over a year ago. I know what you are going through. Just know that you will see signs of him and feel him in the days, months, years to come. Keep the memories close to you and talk about him often. If he was anything as wonderful as you are, Jeff, he was an incredible man.
