Raymond W. Wallis

Ray Wallis!
My memories as a teen: Ray was the Dad we all wanted. Teens drinking did not throw him into imitating complete shock. He knew the late 70s were not much different from the 50s. It happened & it became a page of learning, either you failed or Aced it. Ray listened to us, he empathized, sympathized, but NEVER chastized! All teenagers are insecure. Ray eliminated insecurity. He made us feel we could be real contributers. He wasnt too busy to listen. It wasnt "childish"...

javette, i am so sorry for the loss of your father.do not know if you will remember the johnson family, children tim & cindy. tim and brad played ball a lot together, and went thru kachina school/ we knew you dad and mother well. ray and carol were alway the sweetest most respected couple around. he is in a good place now with your mom.

Javett my deepest sympathy too you and your family. I will light a candle in memory of your father this Sunday at church.

I am very thankful that I knew you and could say you were my friend - Javette’s Dad. I'll always have a special place in my heart for you & memories of your humor and smile. Much love to you on your continuing journey. My Deepest sympathy to your family.

I worked with Ray many years ago. I was quite a bit younger, so I always looked up to him for guidance. He will be missed.
