In the 70's, I worked in Ray's department as an FTR. He was always generous with his time and always willing to help solve problems. He was a great engineer and a professional.

My condolences to his family.

To the family of Ray
I worked with Ray for many years in Motorola. He was the best Engineer that I ever had! He taught me so much because I was a dumb salesman and he kept me out of trouble. He was a Real Engineer for the company. Ray was a Great Guy!
