John Walter Ray Jr

Would like to express condolence on the passing of my friend and cousin Johnny. Remember building Go Karts with him and my father in the backyard of our home on High Rock Street. We would work for hours trying to get one to push around the backyard.
He later moved out west but still took the time out to call my father and I and share his unique sense of humor on our family growing up together through the good times and tough times we had together. So, hope he is at peace and laughing somewhere.

So sorry to learn of John´s passing. I will pray for him and for his family.
Rest In Peace John.

My brother John was born an amazingly bright, funny, boy, with a lazy eye, that perhaps contributed to his self-deprecating charm, and goofy sense of humor.

Some early hard knocks, in his home town of "Lynn Lynn, The City of Sin," put him on a tough road early in life, but, to his credit, he "took a licking and kept on ticking," strong, brave and resilient, without feeling sorry for himself, and never losing his sense of humor.

He was a magical person who was smart enough to have a brilliant life, had the cards he was dealt been different, but, in spite of all his early troubles, he never became cynical or angry, and always saw the humor in life.

I believe he knew he came out a winner, with all he needed in life,
because of his beautiful family, there by his side to the end, with so much love that I´m sure "Johnny" would say he hit the jackpot in life.
