Ray Franklin McCracken III

Ray was a family friend long before I knew it. He and Dave shared Grandma McCracken.
Ray was so involved with kids basketball that one summer we asked to coach SV girls on traveling basketball team. What a summer that was. All those girls learned : dedication , teamwork , and desire.

He was not only their coach but would listen to their drama of every day life and guide them best he could. More importantly he listened.

He was our friend, banker( and that took most of his day if Dave was in his office), and shared stories of his grandkids that he was so proud of.

Such a giant of a man. We will miss you Ray.

Our best to Patty, Mitch, Shelley , and Mandey. Our stories will continue. He will never be forgotten.

He was there when we needed him as well.

Rest in peace our friend. Keep dribbling.
