I can´t believe it´s been 7years w/o my friend. You were so genuine and such a good friend to everyone you came in contact with. I hope you are making everyone laugh on the other side. It was an honor knowing you.

Ray you are deeply missed. You have always been the laughter everyone needed, despite your own well being. You were more concerned for everyone else. You were a truly dedicated friend. RIH Friend

Ray, you are missed by so many that loved you and were blessed to know you. You were an awesome Man and God hand selected your Mom and Dad they were so lucky to be called Mom and Dad by you. You always called me Aunt Bossy, no surprise, and told me elaborate made up stories, which I always believed. Your life ended too soon, but I will always be grateful I got to spend time with you and get to know you. Love and Miss you forever.
Ray of course you would ride a human horseback.

Ray, you are missed by so many, you touched the lives and hearts of all those that were blessed to know you. You loved telling Aunt Bossy unbelievable stories; that she believed. I am so happy I was able to spend time with you in Ohio. You were a special Man, with the best parents God selected just for you. I could go on and on about your personality and love of life but those that know you already know that about you. Miss you and Love you.

Well its been 3 years but it seems like yesterday. Wish we'd had the chance to spend more time together. I really enjoyed the time we had in Ohio. I hope you met up with Grandmom and Pop-pop and are enjoying some time with them. Look out for your mother she sure does miss you. Until we meet again take care.

Oh my Sweet Baby Ray❤❤ One of my best memories was one day when I visited you at the nursing home. You told me they had you on suicide watch because you had told the nurse you were going to jump out the window. You were on the first floor...she apparently didnt quite get your sense of humor. . I bet you have everyone in heaven in stitches.

Sincere condolences Kathy and Bill. My heart aches for you today. I know you're in pain now but hopefully as time passes you can look back at all the happy memories you have had together. Ray was a great guy and a lot of fun. He was loved by many. He obviously touched a lot of people during his life time. May you Rest In Peace Ray. Heaven got a great guy and we're going to miss you here on earth.

To The Family:
I'm sincerely sorry for the loss of your dear son. May you find comfort in knowing that those who have fallen asleep in death God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. May you continue to reflect on your cherished memories of your loved one. Psalm 116:15

Ray was another of our "somewhat, semi, unofficial adopted kids" at church. He and I were so much alike with our humor. My family loves Ray. We will miss him, but we know he no longer has all his medical issues and is whole again. He is running around the streets of glory pulling gags and telling corny jokes and puns, but most of all praising his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Our sincere condolences to the Derrickson family in the loss of your dear love one. Our prayers are as yours, that God provide his care and comfort you each day. - Ps 145:18,19

Just like he could never stand it to sit for too long in his chair or lie too long in his bed, Ray was too much for his shell. His personality was far beyond anything that his physical being would allow him to be. Gregarious, caring, giving, and truly larger than life, he inspired me with his big heart and gentle soul despite the hardships he faced.
My life is forever better for knowing him.

Ray was one of the most selfless people I have ever met. He ALWAYS put everyone else before himself. I'll miss you buddy! Rest Easy...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Ray. We will remember Ray's sense of humor and caring nature toward our residents. He had many friends here and was also our beloved mail man. From all of us at The Laurels of Norworth.
