We have been Pittsburgh friends of Ray's for many, many years. He never let on he was so ill. His outlook on life was so positive. He is missed by his friends. May you be at peace, Ray!

I truly will miss Ray's always smiling face. He went through very serious illnesses in the past few years and whenever we saw him, he was always positive. May he now rest in peace

I have a memory of a kind and generous man who was so brave about his illness, so uncomplaining and lived his life with great acceptance until his last breath. Godspeed to Heaven, Ray!
