We have such fond memories of Ray's infectious sense of humor on the deck of his next door neighbor (my sister & her husband) over the years. Ray will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Hugs, Dave & Nancy

Ray was a good man. He made the best cheesecake ever. He also made sure my sister had a good supply of English toffee. He will be missed.
