I am so sorry to hear of Ray's passing. He was a very gracious presence in the First United Methodist Church on Wed evenings where he joined us for dinner. He liked to wash or dry dishes after dinner, and I loved joining him just so I could chat with him. He was so kind and patient, and I never heard him complain about anything - ever. I think that anyone who spent time with Ray learned much and felt more positive about life in general after spending time with him. I feel very fortunate to have known Ray, and I will miss him. My sympathy to his friends and family. It must be a very difficult time for all of you. Unfortunately, I cannot attend Ray's funeral tomorrow, but will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
