Ann, Sandy, Lyn, & Lisa
You are in my prayers and in my heart. Ray was a true gentleman. Webster defines gentleman as well bred from a good family, derived from the word Genteel meaning polite, stylish, elegant, refined. That was Ray to a T. He was a Man among men. I will always cherish the memories I have of “Zeke.”
Life has a way of changing people but it couldn’t change Ray.
During these trying times, I am always reminded of an old Irish Proverb; “It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day GOD called you home.”
“Codladh sámh”- Sleep well, my brother.

Dear Lyn, Lisa, Anna and Sandy. You were all such kind and loving daughters, mother, and sister to your father, son, and brother. I know Ray left this world knowing how truly blessed he was, and also left in peace surrounded by his favorite "girls".
