I only met Ray a couple of times, but each occasion was memorable. As a new member of Branch Operations at Merck, Ray made me feel welcome and comfortable. A great guy! So glad I had a chance to meet him.

I have so many good and cherished memories of Reno from my first Merck management meeting to the last. We enjoyed many good laughs as well as more serious times throughout the years. He was a generous and loving person and even though we hadn't seen each other in many years he has and always will remain dear to my heart. My sincere condolences to Roxann and his family.

I met Reno when I was 20 & worked at Merck. We've been best friends for 48 years. I babysat his kids & the girls babysat mine. He sang at our wedding & at my dad's funeral & was always there for me, in happy times & sad. The one thing he told me that will always stay with me was "always walk with your head held high & look them in the eye". Reno was one of the happiest & kindest people I've ever known & dear Reno, you will be so missed but I know you're singing with the angels in that incredible tenor voice. I'm so sorry I couldn't be at the funeral but was there in my heart. To his wonderful family, I love you all & you're always in my prayers

Dear Roxanne
I was very saddened to hear of Ray's passing. He was a fine manager and valued friend for 50 years. I first met Ray in the mid 60's when I joined the branch operation in the home office. In the early 70's Ray and I were a team helping branches install new warehouse equipment and assisting branches move from old locations to new buildings. We remained close thereafter during annual meetings of managers and visits to his branch. As for Myrtle Beach during our retirement years, Ray was always at the center of the fun during those wonderful weeks. He was one of a kind.

Roxanne and the rest of the Kellogg family, our deepest sympathy. My memories of Ray are very fond, working together in Denver, playing cards at each others houses, Ray singing at our wedding, then the years when we all met in Myrtle Beach to play golf and of course help Ray count his strokes. May you all always keep a smile in your hearts for a man who had a huge heart!

Dearest Roxann and Maria...I'm so sorry about Reno's passing....he was such a gentlemen and a gentle man. I love to walk in the small TV room and Reno would get up and offer me his chair ...or if there wasn't a chair open he would motion for one of the aids to find me a place to sit....When ever Roxann would need to return to her job ,he always wanted to walk her to the door or carry her purse...I often wish he was Bob room mate I will miss him and Roxann and Maria ...bless you all....Bobs wife...Sue Dunaway

Tony & Family,
MaDora and I were so sorry to here about Reno. He really was a great man and a dear friend to us. Among the countless things he sang, we'll always remember hearing him sing "I Did It My Way" at karaoke in the Dallas West End when a big group of us went out to party back in the 90's. That was so much fun, and of course, he brought the house down with that one. He will be missed, and please know your family is in our prayers.

May the prayers of friends give you strength at this difficult time. Reno sung at my mother's funeral and at our daughter's wedding. He left the golf course in Myrtle Beach, drove to Philadelphia to rehearse with the musicians and learn "Notre Dame Our Mother". And, at the reception he sang "God Bless America". His voice was a gift to all of us.
I know my Phil was there to walk him into the loving arms of Jesus.

Maria, I will always cherish the memory of singing "Sentimental Journey" a karaoke night many years ago. My first and last time doing it and I was scared out of my wits but somehow Reno made it fun. My prayers are with all of you.
