I remember Ray as a kind, shy fellow with a sense of humor. So glad he was able to come to the class 40th reunion in June 2009. I did not know he had been sick or in the nursing home. Sad to lose a classmate...our first since August 2010. May God comfort his family.

Ray was always the gentleman. He was respected by his piers. I truly appreciate his Service to our Great Nation. So glad to get to see him at the last class reunion. Love and prayers to his family members, especially his three children. Let's all rally to get the class together in 3 more years. I pray we loose no more 'mates.
