I remember,how he never seemed to have a bad day,he was always in a good mood,and the way he always loved his faimly,and friends.He use to tease my mother by pulling on her nose and he would just laugh because my mother use to get so mad at him for that.He will be missed by all that knew and oved him.

Ray will be missed. He always had a good word for everyone and disdained gossip. Never petty, ever helpful. He had many more good friends than mere acquiantances and that's a testament to who he was.
