Uncle Ray will be greatly missed, he was a wonderful Uncle as a matter of fact he was one of my favorites. I am happy that I was able to know him through out the years. Although I had not spent alot of time with him in my adult years, during the years of growing up he was awesome. I will never forget his awesome laugh, the sparkle that he always seemed to have in his eyes, and the smile on his face even while he was sick he still had that. I love you Uncle Ray, I will not say goodbye. I will say until we meet again in paradise take care and say hi to my other Uncles, Anut, Dad and my grand-parents.
Love you!! Diane (West) Cauchon
