Beth and I are praying for Ray and his family. Ray´s hands were truly a gift from God so he could help others. He did so much for us while he was on this earth. It is a privileged to work with his brother Scott at PC.

I am very sorry to hear about Ray`s passing. I met him when I worked at PC. I´ll never forget that he and Scott repaired some rotten wood on my home and wouldn´t accept any payment. I hope if the beloved shop cat named Sweet Pea is still living that someone will continue to take care of her. We could always talk about cats. He will be missed.

Peggy and I will be praying for the Bunting family. We are so sorry. Ray was a incredible man. Worked with Ray at PC and he did much handy work around our office. What a worker he was and most important a strong faith.

Heaven gained a true saint. I've known few, if any, finer humans than Ray Bunting. He was one of the people that made our world a better place to live. Our prayers for the family.
