My Uncle Ray!!! what can I say other than he made me feel loved and special every time I was with him! He was always a gentleman and was a big part of my upbringing in so many positive ways! I followed him around everywhere as a kid because I just enjoyed his company and loved him so much! It was difficult seeing him sick and knowing how full of life he once was!! Thank you for all the love and laughter you brought to my life and you will be forever loved and missed ! Love you Ray, Rest in peace . Love you Di and Curtis !

Diane and Curtis, my condolences to you both. When I think of Ray, I think of a gentleman who was very kind and caring. My father (Naish) had a great deal of respect for him, which wasn't easy to earn with my dad haha. Ray will be sadly missed; my thoughts are with you and your family.
Take Care,
Chris Burke ❤

Diane & Curtis ,
Sincere condolences to you both on Ray’s passing. Ray always held a special place in my heart, going way back to the days I worked on grants for the school board. He was so kind and supportive. Years later , he was so kind to Richard when he hung out with Curtis. It’s the little things that make great memories. I hope you will remember all the good times and memories that were made over the years. God Bless !
Rick & Valerie Carrigan.

I am so sorry to read of Ray's passing. I worked with him at the school board for many years. He was always kind and compassionate to everyone he dealt with on a daily basis. Many of the custodial staff would sing his praises and always had a kind word to say about him. He often went above and beyond the requirements to ensure that his "staff" was looked after. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers to your family. May he rest in peace.
