Our family is saddened by the news of Ray’s passing. He was an amazing man with a heart of gold. I have such fond memories of him – especially the one of him hanging out in an old camper with Denny calling it a “bear den!” He kept imitating the SNL skit about “da bears” and was having so much fun. The world needs more people like Ray. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family. May your memories of his great love for you sustain you during this difficult time.

Hey dad I’m missing you so much. Especially yesterday. You were so excited to come to our party and see our pool. It really hit me after everyone left. I sat on the front porch for a few hours pretending you were here telling me one of your reduclious stories. I miss you so much dad. I love you. Please rest in peace and come visit me soon. Xo
