Ray was instrumental in me becoming a Shriner. He took me to Spokane for that event. He was a good friend and I´ll miss him. I´ll keep a photo of him.

Ray lived a few doors down, in the Mobile Home Park that we lived. He would always stop and say hi on his dog walks and when he drove through the park, if my kids were outside, they would run to his car-just to get a piece of candy. They always referred to him as the "candy man." He loved teasing my girls, one year when we came by trick-o-treating, he gave my youngest a can of peas! Of course he got the reaction that he was going for. Ray was a character for sure, my family and I, were blessed to have known him.

Ray and I had a special relationship. It all started when I helped him sell Columbia Basin Shrine Club raffle tickets at the El Katif Shrine circus in Spokane. You will be missed.

What a great guy. He and my late great husband always shared a story and a laugh.
