Pat and Caroline,

I worked with Ray at New England Life for many years. Ray helped show me the ropes when I first came aboard the accounting department in 1981 and was a friend and mentor throughout my tenure there. I have nothing but good memories of Ray and would like to express sincere condolences to you both for your loss.

I so enjoyed Ray's dry sense of humor and the relish with which he would attack the stuffed lobster at Precinct 10. I will miss him.
