What can I say....Such a shock!! Such a loss!! I have been at Carma Laboratories for 11 years and most mornings Ray would say hello and ask how I was doing. If we had time we would talk a little. He would ask me about my horse, and about my views on the political news of the day. Sometimes we disagreed but he must have found my answers interesting because he continued to ask me the questions. He always had time for me and that meant a lot. I’ll miss you very much Ray.
