Ray was a man of many words, a heart like a teddy bear and a true joy to be around. His grasp of numbers and ability to recall situations, books, history, etc., was astonishing. I feel sure if he'd had an IQ test it would have amazed everyone at his brilliance. I think some people grow into their own in their later years and it was true of him, he seemed to have found in himself what he had searched for in others. I hope his memory is kept alive by those that knew him, and that everyone will be better for knowing him. God bless all of his family - To Bertha and Gary - thank you for being there for him. All our love, always Uncle Odell & LBit
