So sorry to read about Ray. I was a year ahead of him in school and he was always happy and friendly. I especially remember playing pickup basketball with him at the Pines. He had a great jump shot.

To the family of my fellow Legionnaire, Veteran and friend. I wish I could express myself well enough so you would know how lucky I have been to spend time with Ray. Throughout the years Ray did so much for the American Legion and the city of Somersworth that it will be hard to equal. I for one am going to miss Ray. Again to the family I offer my sincere condolences and will have you in my thoughts as you go through these difficult times. For me I have enough memories of Ray to put a smile on my face thinking about him.
