So very sorry to hear of Grandpa Ray's passing. Now he is in heaven with Grandma Ann and she is waiting on him hand and foot and they are laughing together. Grandpa was a wonderful man and I feel blessed to have had him in my life. I will always have fond memories of my time spent at their home and the way we were all family. May he rest in Grandma Ann's arms and in peace. My thoughts and prayers are sent with love to the entire family.

Ron Carol And Family We are deeply saddened on the sudden passing of Ray. Ray was a great boss and all of us who worked for him thought the world of him and will miss him very much. I know this is a difficult time for you, however, if it is any consolation, Ray was very much admired and respected, and I can truly say that I have never heard an unkind word spoken about him.
