Ray will forever live in my heart. He was my everything. He loved our pets and our family. He showed me the world and was so generous and caring. He pushed me to follow my dreams, picked me up when I was down and is because of him I became a teacher. He was my best friend, partner in crime, and yes he always find a way to make me laugh. He enjoyed being with his students and teaching was so important to him. I love him like I will never love anybody. Miss you so much Baby.

I only really got to talk to Mr. Frederick once. It was during spring fling. I was telling him that I signed up for his shop class, and asking what to expect. He gave me the run down. I was very excited to learn from him. Little did I know that would be the last time I would ever talk to him. Even though I didn't get to talk to him more, I am glad I got to talk to him once. All that matters is that he is in heaven now with his parents. May he rest in peace.

Ray and Katherine were very dear friends of ours when we lived in Wernersville. We enjoyed traveling to Dominican Republic with them and had many great parties together. He will be missed. May he Rest In Peace. Our sympathy goes out to Katherine and his family. Sincerely, Gary and Patrice Theobald

Ray and I were in the same Sigma Tau Gamma pledge class at Millersville. To say that Ray enjoyed life and lived it to its fullest is an understatement as he always had a smile on his face and ready to make anyone around him laugh. I´ve thought of Ray over the years, as we lost touch, and wondered what ever became of him. I am not shocked to see that he became a teacher and had a lasting impact on his students, as attested in some of the posts I´ve read. My condolences to Ray´s wife and family and to everyone that ever had the privilege of coming into contact and knowing him. Peace Brother.

Ray was a childhood friend of mine growing up in Lansdale, PA. I just found out about his passing today from my brother. I lost contact with him after High School but it seems he made his mark and made a lasting impression with those he came in contact with. He was a fun guy to be around. He was easy going and could fit into any crowd. He had a gentle heart and I thought highly of him. Rest in peace brother.

Ray volunteered to help at the first after school event that I ever planned when I started at CW. It was a luau, and he put himself in charge of dishing out cotton candy from a machine that no one really knew how to use. I will never forget the sight of him, absolutely covered in pink fluff as he dished out the messy treat to the kids for free.

Ray was my Sigma Tau Fraternity brother at Millersville. He was a trailblazer in organizing the infamous Daytona beach springbreak bus trips. Loved this man as a brother and as a true friend !

Mr. Frederick made a last impression on my sons high school journey. My son chose to spend his free time in the school day in Mr. Fredericks classroom. He often spoke about how funny he was and how great they got along. I´m so grateful for an educator like him to walk into my sons life. Thank you for loving and caring so deeply about your students. CW will certainly be different without you there. Lifting his family in prayer during this difficult time.

He was a great teacher and I had him in my freshman/sophmorw year and when zooms we´re supposed to end we would always stay on and talk about everything and anything

I met Ray at Millersville Univ and we both became members of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity at the same time. He was funny, determined and worked hard to graduate through a lot of adversity. My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. When Ray was your friend, you had a staunch ally.
