Johnson Family,
My aunt is in Westgate nursing home and I have known Ray for over a year. He was always a joy to talk to. He would always say "I'm a good soldier" and yes he was! I would talk and laugh with him every night when he was in the dining hall. He will be missed by many at the home. Scott Delcour and Kathy Forward-Holmes residents of the home send their condolences.
