I had the pleasure of working with Ray, aka. "Rowdy Ray" as I called him on the job, and also as a friend to him and his family. Ray was a great guy! Very passionate when it came to his family and helping them through school. I always loved that about him. Praying for sweet memories and comfort for all of the family.
