As we get older the sunrises and sunsets seem to pass by alot quicker,it is GOD'S way of telling us to slow down and be thankful for what we have and the precious memories.For me those memories include being a caddie at Edgewood Valley and for Ray sometimes.I remember he had a big heavy bag which nobody minded,as MR.CLANCY was a $5.00 tipper.He was always so kind to us too -talking-joking and never looking down on us kids who never had many material things.We learned good work and life ethics at Edgewood Valley during the late 50's and early 60's thanks to Ray and caddiemaster Mitch[who passed a few years ago] and others like them.May we all meet again on the 9th.hole in Heaven with the Lord Jesus.My condolences to all Ray's family and you are in our prayers.RON Swanson Tinley Park ,Ill.

I worked with Ray for over 20 years after he brought me on board as a broker in 1981. He was one of a kind. His generosity helped to foster a benevolent atmosphere within the company which as endured.
