I was honored to work with Ray at Mid-Minnesota Legal Assistance. I called him my "Roomie" because we worked right across from each other. I really enjoyed our talks and found out my husband was best friends with one of Ray's nephews (I think) - Randy Palmer? So sad to hear of Ray's passing. He will be greatly missed.

To Jerry, David, Bobby, Carol, Darcy and the rest of Rays big beautiful family.
You are all in our Hearts, Thoughts and Prayers. Ray was always such a handsome strong man and had such a beautiful smile.
May you know that God has your Dad and all of you wrapped in his loving arms and Ray is at peace.
I thank God for one of his most special gifts "our memories". They are what makes us hurt right after we say goodbye to the ones we love, but in the end they are what helps us Heal, Smile, Laugh and go on again. You have so many beautiful happy memories. Hold them in your hearts and know that you have 2 very special Guardian Angels watching over you now... Your Mom and Dad :)
Your family has always and forever will be a part of ours.
Love n Hugs
