Raymond A. DeVita

We wish to express our condolences to Sharon and family on the passing of Ray DeVita. It has been our very good fortune to have had Ray DeVita as a special friend for many years. Ray is among the kindest, forthright and most modest men I(RM) have known.
Upon learning of the sad news, I was overwhelmed by a flood of fond memories. For example, I would like to share a couple, I recall my first meeting and playing golf with Ray at The Ridge Club. Ray and I exchanged some small talk then I asked Ray what sort of work did he do before he was a professional golfer. His answer was "I am an engineer with Black and Decker". As we all know this was typical Ray considering his extraordinary resume. On a later occasion playing golf with Ray, he received a cell phone call; it was short and soft. With the call concluded, Ray simply looked at me and said "she (Sharon) worries about me". These four words say so much about Ray and Sharon. So, many, many memories are mine to keep. Likewise, a host of our fellow golfers are similarly and forever endowed with very special memories, thanks to Ray.

BE WITH GOD MY FRIEND

Ray. We and all who played with you at Cranberry Valley Golf Course will keep you in our hearts and minds when we are out there swinging. We'll look for you on that big championship course.

Our heartfelt condolences to Sharon and Ray´s family on the passing of a truly remarkable human being who touched so many lives with his wisdom, his generosity, and spirit of a life well lived. So many fond memories of our many rounds of golf with Ray at the Ridge Club and Quail West. A friend who enriched all of our lives ..

I was so saddened to hear of Ray's passing. Ray's been a good friend for a long time. A true gentleman, Ray and I played many rounds of golf together. Each time was a pure pleasure. My thoughts are with Sharon and the rest of Ray's family at this difficult time. He'll be missed. - Charlie Rogers
