Sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I did not know Ray all that much but he was very friendly and helpful when I joined the sales force at Prestolite all these many years ago. My condolences to the entire family.

Norma - So sorry to hear about Ray. I will always remember the good times we had working together and at the bowling tournaments. I will treasure my copy of the "Titanic" that you both got for me when I retired from Prestolite and the fact that you and Ray came down to Florence, KY for my retirement party. He will be greatly missed. Please give my condolences to his family.
