To the Family of Ray Cora,
The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief as we just lost my Aunt Marianne to Cancer on my Dad's side at a young age. Ray was my Great Uncle, Brother to my late Grandmother Genevieve Baker. I have very fond memories of him as he taught me how to catch, skin and eat fish. Not to mention the appreciation for the outdoors. I tell many stories of our times together when I was growing up to my friends and Family in Alaska. He will be missed greatly as he was one amazing man. His memories will live on forever.
Our Prayers are with all of you,
Kevin and Sheryl Barry
