Ray was one of my long-time customers and a good friend as well. His contributions to Special Olympics and the Columbia community were tremendous and he will certainly be missed by so many.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and those closest to him during this difficult time. May God fill you with His presence and bring comfort and peace.

Our son Lee adored Ray and enjoyed hugs at every Special Olympics event. He finally learned to say his name! Our other son, Ross will always cherish the autographed "Gary Williams" basketball that Ray personally delivered to him since he was an avid fan. Guy always chatted Maryland sports with him at every meeting since they both "feared the Turtle!" I will miss his great wonderful hugs and working with him for the Greenville Gala. We will all remember Ray for his smile, big hugs and relentless dedication to all the athletes of Special Olympics South Carolina. He was amazing raising money for our kids will be greatly missed. Our condolences to Denise, Adrienne and all the family.
May God wrap his loving arms around you for the weeks ahead and may be have comfort in the memories and good works of Ray's life.
Guy, Cathy, Lee & Ross Harrison

Ray Carci was a very good man that I ever known. He is like a father figure to me and my fellow Special Olympics South Carolina atheletes. He is also my mentor and my fellow Special Olympics South Carolina athletes. He will be missed a lot. R.I.P. Ray Carci.

Denise,
I met Ray thru my sons, Brent & Brandon Cooler while in college at USC and working at John Pauls. I can remember his big smile and him bragging to me about what good boys I had raised. But what I remember most is the admiration my boys both had for him and all he did for others and those with special needs. May God comfort you and his family during this difficult time.

We don't understand why these things happen but rest assured that our Father has us in the hollow of his hand. He will give strength when it seems we can't go on and will never let us down. Prayers for Ray's family and friends. He will not be forgotten.
