I've known Ray for the last 10+ years, having met at the bridge table; he was a compatible partner as well as a formidable opponent. Always kind, considerate and a gentleman, he persevered through his many setbacks with the same steadfast resolve and calm demeanor. He will be missed by his family and also his many friends in the bridge community. Bruce E

I had the privilege of teaching with Ray at Lunenburg High School. He was a sweet man, good friend, and excellent teacher.

Jean and family: I am so sorry for your loss. Ray was a quiet and funny man. I enjoyed meeting him when we ran into each other so unexpectedly at local restaurants. You were very lucky to have each other and Ray to have you care for him right to the end. Please know we are ALL here for you and if there is ANYTHING we can do, please don't hesitate to ask. Our prayers have been with you both and will continue going forward.
