Ray was a man of God and walking testimony to Christ. In the year following Hurricane Michael battling his health, he continued to minister to me. Pray with & for me. I prayed so hard when I was on the other side of my hurricane michael real estate and personal problems I could let him know I survived. He continued his personal calling to minister to the prisoners for so long. My sincerest condolences & sympathy to Janet and his loved ones. Rest In Peace dearest man.

Ray was a pleasure to work with in real estate. His warm and friendly demeanor made him so easy to speak with. I know his clients and customers must have loved him also. Ray will be missed. May God bless his family and friends.
