To the Cox Family,
I was a classmate of Ray's @ NFA, but never saw him again after graduating. He was one of the nicest guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ray was funny but also very polite. During my high school years, male classmates were never really known for their "classiness", but to me, Ray was. My prayers are with his family for losing a wonderful guy.

Dearest Ray,
From the first time I met and spoke with you I felt a warm connection to you; very easy to speak with, kind, warm-hearted and sincere, one of "the keepers"! Just seeing and speaking with you a few months ago at Brian's party is one thing I will treasure for years to come, and you seemed so fine at the time. I wonder if you knew? Any time we were invited to something up that way I always looked forward to seeing you there! You will be missed by many my friend, that's the kind of guy you were! Rest in Peace and one day we will all be together again!
Much love,
Linda Krasinski (nee Johnson)
