I have known Ray for over 23 years and he was a very friendly man who was a great father to his daughter and great husband to his wife Pat. He will be missed very much.

Uncle Ray was always smiling - so calm and peaceful amidst chaos!!! We love you Ray and will miss you. My earliest recollection of you was on Candlewood with Patsy, Denny and Debbie... always offering us drinks, food and ice cream... may Perpetual light shine upon you and remain with you forever.. ❤❤❤

Dear Uncle Ray will be dearly missed. Never in my entire life, did I see him angry, upset or without a smile! He always had a hearty laugh and a great positive attitude. He was always kind and patient. What treasured memories of a fine gentleman!
Now we have another loving Soul in Heaven soaring with the Angels looking over us!
Rest In Peace!! Prayers and love Janie and Larry Luppi

My Uncle Ray, was always a "swell guy" he had a great sense of Humour, especially required marrying into a close knit Irish Family:The Kelly's!
Aunt Pasty is a wonderful strong and happy "Colleen" and I am looking forward to seeing her HOME, here on the Emerald isle, like we did in 1967!
