To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.
My deepest sympathy

Growing up and spending holidays at Aunt Louise's and Uncle Rays was always a fun time. My cousins Ray, Rich, Larry and Bob were always great to be around. Rich was always cracking jokes or doing something funny. He will be surely missed. Rest In Peace cousin. I'm sorry we didn't talk more often.
