Very sorry to learn of Ramon's passing. I am the son of Ramon's first cousin Merced Gomez(Meche). I remember the parties and the music when I was young.

To my Father. I have been blessed with having the most wonderful person in my life...called, my dad. God's path was for you to use your experiences in life to mold us children. Thank you for your constant love and dedication to not only mom but to all of us as well. There are no words to describe how much you mean to me and also how much I miss you. A part of my heart has been broken and will never be the same. I do know that you are happy and healthy and with God and your family. Rest in peace Dad, your Patsy

Hi Dad,

I miss you very much, I can't begin to tell you how much you mean to me. All your hard work for all of us for almost 70 years. You are one special man, one who loved God, Mom and us kids, unconditionally. Your personality and easy way of making friends will be missed by all of us. We were so happy to be able to make your wish come true and you were able to leave us from your own home. When we go now to the house, it is so empty without both of you, it is now a house, not the home that it was when you were there.
Please give Mom a big hug and kiss from us, I'm sure she was waiting for you to come and enjoy Heaven with her. Say hi to Uncle Joe Munoz for us also, and keep watch over their family.
Your daughter,
CeeCee

Cee-Cee,Kathy,Ray Jr & Patsy,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always remember going over to your house when we were all young. Listening to your Dad singing then our father joining with his guitar. Then at some point your Dad would start singing "Tiny Bubbles".So much fun back in those days.
Cherish the memories and hold them tight. You will always have him near.

Our sympathy,
MaryJean, Jesse Jr, & Cindy Mendoza

Ray Jr,Cee-Cee,Kathy,Patsy, Uncle Ray will truly be missed by us all. Our prayers are with you. The heavens received another Angel to watch over us, Uncle Ray will be making beautiful music in heaven for all the other Angels that have left us. We've been blessed to have him with us for all his years on earth. I love to hear the stories of when him and my dad were growing up. They were close in their own ways. We need to stay close too, and keep their memories alive, keep in touch and come and visit, my dad would love that. God bless you all always.

Uncle Ray with his two best buddies Uncle Joe Munoz and my dad, Joe Flores.

Uncle Ray was a wonderful person and a terrific role model and he and Tia Vera raised 4 great children. He lived life to its fullest and has shown us all to appreciate every single day of our lives with our loved ones. He was one of my parents best friend, he was like a brother to both of them. It is a celebration of his life and his legacy will live on thru his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be missed but never forgotten. Joseph A. Munoz (Aloha, Oregon)
