We were saddened to learn of the untimely passing of this special man. Our sympathy to Jean and family.
Ray was such a thoughtful and wise leader and we felt his loss when the family moved to Sacramento to be near to their children.
Our deepest sympathy and so sorry we missed the memorial service this afternoon!

I worked for Ray at Ventura College for several years beginning in 1983. I always admired him as he was an intelligent, caring administrator and good friend. I will always remember his booming voice and his sense of humor. Rest in peace Raymond.
