Was so sorry to hear of Ray's death. We attended the same schools early on. He was always a good and decent guy.
He is in our prayers.

We have lost a wonderful, fun loving, story telling friend that will never be forgotten. If you knew Ray, you loved Ray, you just couldnt help it.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ray was a great friend, and supporter, we owned a small meat market in Cahokia, he still came by and visited us in our home, after we closed the market.
