There are some people you meet that you like immediately and Ray was one of those individuals. I loved his sense of humor. If I would see him out I would ask “How are you Ray?” He would say “Not too bad, can’t complain, I’m still looking down and the green stuff and not up”. Now he is looking down at his Beautiful Family. We are all blessed to have known him. Take care all of you xo
