I have the greatest memories and working with Ray King
We work together at the West Shops,
He as my supervisor
Me as a foreman
At the was a honor working for him
When he retired, he give me a
Beautiful drawing
That a artist give it to him
Of one of our projects
(Red line:Argyle)
I still have it
That was a great experience being in touch with him every morning
I have the opportunity to see him with his sons when they were young
It was so fun of them
A great person he will be missed

Ray and I were partners and worked very closely together. We have had many good conversations throughout the years. He was paramount to my wife and I getting married. He was a good friend and will be missed. Ray and his family will always be in our prayers.
