Mr. Ray was my favorite customer for many years. I worked in banking and had known him since 1979. He would bring me orange slices often and even after I left banking he tracked me down and brought them to my office job. I had not seen him for a few years and thought of him often. He will be greatly missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Pat, Suzanne, Beth, Bill Jr. and all your extended families. He was one in a million. Since he was 46 years my senior, I would have never guessed when I met Bill at the good old Longport Inn that it would be the beginning of a twenty year friendship. I will miss my happy hour partner and will never forget our long talks about the stock market, our hip replacements, the Yankees and most importantly, Hard shell crabs. My prayers and those of my family are with you all.
