Sorry to hear of your loss, Wentz family.
Sorry to just find this out . Ray was a very good friend of mine growing up in Warminster, Tennent class of '77. He will be missed I am sure by all. Many fond memories of hanging out with him, he was the voice of reason many times for me.

Our sympathies to the Wentz family. I was one of Rays first patients and always looked forward to chatting with him about cars and electronics at his Souderton office. What a great guy!

Both Bob and I want to express our deepest sympathy to Ray's family. He was such a warm, caring, to all this patient's. We were sad when he closed his practice in Jenkintown. We are grateful to have known him. Bob and Bernadette Taylor.
