Ray gave so much of his time to the youth of Dothan through his coaching and I know how much he loved it by the number of times he called regarding the rules of the leagues.
My thoughts and prayers to each of you. We will miss Ray a lot.

My wife and I served with Ray on the Board of Directors the first year at Eastgate Park. What great memories. Ray will truly be missed. I am thankful I had the opportunity to speak with Ray a few months back about his salvation and eternity. He assured me he was saved and ready to meet his Lord. May the Lord bless the family at this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.

To :Margaret, Angie, Todd & Clay,
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above

Todd,
I was sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you...even if it is just to talk. It hasn't been that long since I lost my own father to cancer so I kind of know what is facing you now as well as what you'll
be facing in the months and years ahead.
Everyone handles their grief in different ways, but I did learn that family, fiends and prayer are of great comfort in times like this.
You and your family will continue to be in my prayers.
