Not sure what to say?

Ray was a good friend to my dad when very few others would have been. He made his kindness and his classiness known to my family in ways that were not obvious, but very sincere. Our world's going to be a little bit worse off without Ray in it.

In our Senior year we had 1st period art class together. He was a great pole vaulter, David told me he would practice at their house on Gay Street. There was a long brick tall wall along the left side of the driveway. He said Ray would practice going over it. Now I'm not sure I believed it, but I think he was a dare devil. RIP Ray

Ray you were a great friend and neighbor. We had some good times with you and your Mother. Rest in Peace friend. Our sympathy to you David. Know that we loved Ray, and your Mother also. We cherished their friendship. We loved when they would reminisce about the days when you boys were growing up.
