Elaine and Ashlock family; my heart is truly sad about Ray. I didn't know him well, but he was truly an awesome Chief Warham and loved the city of Bonham. May his spirit rest forever high on that mountain.

Don and I were so sorry to hear about Ray passing. I will always remember him as a young boy with us when we had a slumber party at his house with his sisters. He was right there with us and at that time we called him Butchie, I cant remember who gave him that nick name, his mom I think.
We love Ray and his sweet family, and know we are praying for all! God Bless!

Elaine and family, please accept my condolences in the loss of Ray! May the Lord God wrap you all in His loving arms and give you peace and comfort during this time. A special time I remember was when my Dad passed and Ray helped me do a spray of yellow roses for Daddy! The angels in Heaven are rejoicing in Heaven and praising with song!

As our generation matures, racing now toward the natural transition we all must experience, I nevertheless am always taken by those who pass.
To Elaine and family I know Ray's transition is difficult, though you well know he is on the greatest adventure of all..."the peace of God which passeth all understanding".

Ray was always loving, kind and made you feel welcome anywhere he was. When I was a child, his Florist shop was absolutely magical. He touched many people with his love and kindness and his sense of community and service to others will always be
remembered.

Elaine and family,
I pray God's comfort, strength and blessings upon you in your time of loss and sorrow, but I know you are also rejoicing with the angels in heaven that Ray is now with Jesus and no longer suffering. Ray was the dearest and sweetest man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and loving. He was such a special friend to me. I will forever remember that precious smile of his and all the kindness he showed me. He prayed many prayers for me and my family. I loved him dearly as I do you, Elaine. You are all in my prayers.

Dear Ashlock family, Words are inadequate to express my sympathy for your loss. Ray was a kind man who always wore a smile and offered a greeting. He will be missed by many, but none more than you. My prayer is that your sweet memories help ease the pain of your loss and that God will provide peace and comfort as only He can. God bless you all. John 14:1-4.

I recall Ray always being high-spirited. He was such fun in Elementary School and continued his enthusiasm for life throughout high school and adulthood. It did not take long to know how Ray felt about a subject. He was passionate. Bonham now has a hole that will be impossible to refill. RIP Ray. Love to Elaine and family.
