To Rays Family,
Ray was a wonderful caring man, which everyone new. I lost my brother Mike in a car accident and Ray was very close with him. Ray was very protective of me after Mike passed when I seen him out at Davids. He was always so sweet and always cared about everyone. I am still in shock that he is gone. I just seen him and he was talking to me about how well he was doing. He will be missed by so many.
Ray may you rest in peace and I know you are with Mikey having tons of laughs and talks about racing..Thank you for becoming a real friend to me!

Debbie,
As mentioned, when I bumped into you recently, I knew Ray from years ago, and used to see him at the credit union. Despite health problems, he had a zeal for life. Ray was quite a guy. God bless Ray!

My deepest sympathy to Ray's family:
I feel your loss as I too have just lost a true friend, one who always gave "unconditionally" even when his
own health concerns wore him down.
May Ray's spunk keep our memories alive and keep us moving forward.
Miss you and love you!
