Ray was such a good campground friend. Always so caring & fun to spend time & share stories & experiences with.
We always looked forward to the weekends when he & Marjorie were at their trailer so we could sit & chat with them & attend pot lucks & bingo.
We can’t express how much we will miss him. He was a wonderful person.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Marjorie & Ray’s family.
