Not sure what to say?

Ray inspired so many of us to improvise musically back in the early-70´s. We played rock & roll, jazz standards and, yes, those polkas mentioned above, at high school dances, country clubs and banquet halls all over GR. The trunk of his dad´s Pontiac Catalina could hold two Fender Bassman cabinets!

So long, brother Ray. Fond memories of playing together in high school and sharing a pizza in Sedona. Always appreciated your passion for music and kind soul. Rest in peace.

I went to high school and college with Ray. A nicer, more positive guy, you'll never meet. He had tremendous musical ability and shared that joy with everyone. God Bless and Godspeed Ray! Beri Bouwman Bek

As one of the many who had the privilege to play music with you, I hope one day to do that again when my work here is done. Rest in peace my friend.

Farewell, my friend! I will miss you!
