Raymond and I became friends at Central High School in Auburn New York. We both were born in 1936. I was born April Ist. So was older than Ray..I would call him kid just to joke with Him. I was Drafted in to the Army and we lost touch when Ray moved to Elmira. Ray was a Great Friend and a True Gentleman. Ray will be Greatly Missed by all who had the pleasure of of Knowing Him..
