Ray and I shared many phone calls for many years and we were good friends. He is in my thoughts and prayers and he often spoke of his 3 daughters with warmth and love.

Dear Sharon,
Thinking of you and the rest of the family at this time. Tom and I are in OK but know our thoughts are with you. I remember your dad's laughter and twinkle in his eyes and know that you have good memories.

For the Jones Family
I just wanted to let you know how much I will miss Ray’s flirtatious nature and pretty blue eyes. He always made me laugh when coming for his visits here at NE Nephrology. He brightened my days with his gregarious, funny, and witty personality, and wow did he love his bowling game!
I am very sorry for your loss; he will be missed by many.
