Bravery in defense of a country that could never repay you for. Generosity you never asked for in return. Love you wouldn't always show, but those who knew you always felt. Content with a dollar or ten thousand dollars. For you, all the world was your stage and you performed masterfully. Thanks.

Regrets of not making the time to sit and have conversation as men grandson to grandfather. What times would have been to finally go fishing with you. My summers spent with you will be forever remembered with the great times you showed us. Gone but never forgotten love you.

Sue and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. It was such an honor meeting him and getting to know you both at the VA. He always had a smile, and a joke, even when he really didn't want to...He definitely was an inspiration to me to fight and keep on going. Take care, Kathy

Sue and family, so sorry for your loss. Ray was a good guy and full of character! He always made me laugh! I will always remember his love for animals. Bob said he was the only boss who made sure they got a Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey every year back when he worked for him. He will be surely missed.
