Ray was the husband of Susie who is a first cousin of my mom, Mary Kay. Ray had a great sense of humor. What I will remember most about Ray is his love of books, and his generosity with passing books on to the next reader. He was an avid mystery story reader, as am I. Ray was always a source of strength for my family and for that I thank him. The Lord will reward Ray for his kind soul.

Ray lived next to my Mom, Pauline Bradley, and was hlpful and kind when my step-father passed away. Even after everything he came by to check up, and when we put my Mom in Serra Manor his Mom was there, too and we continued being friends. I am so sorry of your loss. Ray was a great person.

Dear Sue. I hope you remember Janet and I. Ray and I worked at the Sheet Mill for many years. We are so saddened to have heard that a dear friend of ours had passed. Janet and I have been away from the area for a long time, so all we have are our memories of the folks who have touched our lives. We have nothing but great memories of you and Ray and the good times we had out on the few occasions. And that’s the way we’ll always remember you and Ray; as good friends and a great fellow working companion. Again our deepest condolences to you and the family. Fred and Janet.
