Dear Paula, Tim and family,
I returned from my visit to my family in England and in Malta, and from my retreat, and learned the sad news of your great loss. I was sorry not to have been able to be there for this difficult time of your life, but Ray will continue to be in my prayers, along with all of you, his beloved family. The passing of a gentleman is one that will remain in our minds and hearts, as will all the years of friendship with your family. God bless and give you comfort and strength.

Ray was a trusted friend who helped me dearly with insurance needs. But most of all he was a man of God and loved the world. I will surely miss you my friend. It was so good to see you again last month by accident... or was it God's will?

I express my sincerest condolences to the Ouellette family. I met Paula and Ray at St. Theresa Church in Tiverton (Lynne Swass is my sister). Paul sang with me in the choir there for a little while. May God be with all of you in this time of sorrow.

Dear Paula and Family,
I'm beside myself to hear of Ray's passing. Ray was a great mentor to me. He was a caring man with diverse knowledge that led to us having many interesting conversations over the years. Ray also came through for me when I was laid off by putting his own money on the table to keep me aboard. I love you Ray. And I miss you.
