Ray and I were friends from elementary through senior year at Robert E. Lee High School in Midland. Ray worked at Bowen's Drug during that time and he made some great Root Beer Floats, always friendly and helpful. We lost touch after graduation, but connected through Facebook after his wife died (she and I were Facebook Friends). Ray had an amazing life in oilfields in other countries and loved to share those stories, some of which he was blessed to have survived. I will always feel lucky to have shared these last few years with him even though it was via cellphone, as he was in West TX and I'm in East TX. Ray was a good man and he's with the love of his life again. R.I.P Ray.
