Our deepest sympathy to the Rand family. We've been gone from NJ for over 26 years, but I can still see Ray's smile clearly. He will always be remembered as a truly wonderful and joyous person.

To the Rand Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers go out to you. Ray was so helpful when I was going thru selling Rosemaries house - he was so kind. I would thank him and he would smile and say no problem. He adored his family and his eyes lit up when talking about his son in school or his daughter when she graduated and school. And how he grew up in Audubon. A nice nice man. Sincerely meant, Lorraine (Rose your neighbors cousin).

I just found about Ray today and I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember how pleasant, professional and dedicated he was with work and his colleagues , always with a smile and good humor. I would have definitely attended his funeral. He was so proud of his family - I remember running into him at Landmark with his kids - a wonderful person.

Ray was one one the special people who's presence lit up a room. I have such fond memories from our trip to Europe with choir. He was silly, loyal as a friend and a gentleman and I imagine a great husband and father. It has been many years since I have seen Ray, but always one of my favorite people. What a delightful smile he had. My prayers to all

To the Rand family, Ray was one of the most generous and kindhearted men. He gave of his time and always had time for a chat. We always looked for his friendly face at school functions and could count on Ray to "save" us a seat. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
