I knew Ray because he was my brother's father-in-law. When ever I saw him, he always had a smile on his face and a good thing to say about everyone. He was a very loving and generous man to his daughters Nancy and Carol and of course to his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed. I hope Ray and Simba are having fun up in Heaven together.

Ray was my father-in-law, and the grandfather of my children. He was an individual that loved his girls and his grandchildren very much. He was playing with the kids every chance he had, whether it was at his house, or at their house. He was so proud of my son Travis the day he hit his first home run, you would have sworn that it was his own son. DA, as the kids all called him, will be greatly missed by anyone whom knew him.
