I think about Ray every year at this time. I remember when it was close to the end that I sat in the deer stand with him. I nice buck came in and I had to wake him up to shoot it. It ended up being a nice 8pt buck that we found the next day. He is truly missed and thought of. Tom Prahl

We just recently found out about Ray's passing. We offer our sympathy to your family. Ray was almost always at family gatherings. We enjoyed talking with him and enjoyed his sense of humor.

Please accept our condolences on Ray's death. I have fond memories of Ray with the NML agency. The many Canada fishing trips, the hunting stories, the conventions and his many tales about living on Mosquito Hill near New London.
I hope you find peace and Ray's family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
