Honey,
I am very sorry to hear of Ray's passing and want to offer my sympathy and prayers to you and your family. However, I'd like to point out an omission from the obituary in the Weirton paper. They failed to mention that absolutely no one sang " Let Me Call You Sweetheart " like Ray. My most vivid memories of Ray is him with his arms around whoever was near and leading that song at all the weddings.
If you need anything Honey please let us know.
