I worked with Ray at the City of COS. He was such a fun guy...he also coached my oldest daughter fast-pitching in softball. Ray was so giving of himself and a great guy - - I miss memories of him already!

Fran, Little Ray, Brian and Zach,
Our hearts and prayers are with all of you. Raymond was a very special person to my boys as they grew up. He was an incredible roll model as a good family man, and they needed that. Raymond will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for sharing him. We love you.
