So sorry to hear that Ray passed away so long ago. I knew Ray for many years. We became friends when he was a regular customer at the convenience store where I was employed. We spent time together looking for parts for a Volkswagen he was building with a 1940 Ford front end on it for us. This was a project that he and my ex-husband were working on together. I have fond memories of Ray.Terry probably remembers that period and also of seeing us at Concord Motor Speedway when we all were racing. I know he is still missed by all of his family and friends. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I am so sorry about uncle Ray, he is going to be missed deeply. When we were younger he always brought Grandma Lettie fishing and we all went and had a great time. He will be greatly missed, call me if you need anything. My number is 2522170799. I am hoping to get down there in the next few months and I hope to see you. Love you and keep your head up I know it's hard, if I can do it when I lost my son, know that you can. Keep in my prayers. Love you.
