Pappy Ray was always thinking of others first and with a smile on his face. He was one of the top three best men I ever met in my life. My own pappies and him. He remembered my girls and I many times at Christmas and birthdays. He will never be forgotten and I'll continue to tell my children stories about him . Prayers to all his family. Love, Jamie

Pappy always had a big contagious smile and rich belly laugh. Bubba and Pap would take Jimmy and I to the airport and watch the planes take off or to ice cream at century three mall. Pap was so happy with the little things and always there for the big life moments. He was ever present for his family. Will remember him always. Your granddaughter Becky and family Pete, Graysen, Nash and Wyatt

Ray was my Dad's Cousin, Dad often spoke so highly of him. I used to see him at Mass at Saints Simon and Jude and talk with him afterwards. He was always kind to me, and I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies to you all.Matthew Kluk
