So sorry to hear of Dr Seckingers passing.....I remember him when working at Sacred Hear Hospital years ago and when I needed help for my mother he knew exactly who to recommend she should see. It was due to his suggestion that my mother was able to receive the proper diagnosis and she was helped with her anxiety and at 88 she has has been living a happy life! Thank you Dr and may you Rest In Peace with our Lord!

Remembering both Ray and Joan. They are both missed. If Fred was here he indeed would be very sad. I remember them coming to the farm and the 6 of us laughing a lot. Ray was full of energy and loved life. He was a proud father and Grandfather. My thoughts are with you all.

I recently learned of the passing of Lee and Sarah, and now Dr. Ray. He was a true friend and I enjoyed visiting him several times in Bethlehem during his retirement. I was blessed to take him to dinner in May of 2015 during a visit back home. May our good God welcome his son home to eternal life and reward him for his kindness to others. I will celebrate Mass for him on July 30 at my parish in Baytown, TX. May our Lord's peace and reassurance be with you all!

I am so sorry to hear of Ray´s passing. His long life is testimony to the benefits of fitness. I remember him always working out and staying so active. He never looked or acted anywhere near his age. He was a wonderful friend. You have had to deal with a lot of loss n your family of late. I miss them all.
