I didn't know Ray very well but I do recall his kind gentle nature and outgoing friendliness here at the Cisco account at Convergys. I work in TAC and he worked in CRC but on occasion he would just say hi to me and be kind for no reason which I always appreciated. I could tell by just those brief encounters that Ray was a really nice person. I am so sorry for your loss and how sad it is for you all. Please know that the Lord loves us and that your father and husband is happy and safe in the Lords presence. I know you will see him again. I will pray that you will be comforted with the kind of peace that only the Saviour can give. May you feel Rays presence in your lives and be comforted by your memories until you are reunited. This parting is only temporary. Much love and sympathy to you all at the time of great sorrow.
