Dear Betty and John--We were so sorry to hear about Ray and my daughter Nola and I will miss him. He has been a fixture in the photo class at BAC and I have enjoyed his many fine pictures and his wonderful sense of humor. It just won't be the same without him. We'll never forget him.

Dear John, Virginia and Liz,

Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. It is very sad to lose a beloved parent, especially at this time of year - it has happened to us - but please know there is great comfort in knowing they have gone home to a better place. Next year, you may feel some apprehension as Christmastime approaches, but this will quickly turn to a feeling of peace - you will miss your Dad, but you'll know that he is with you, watching down from above.

Our love and God's blessing to you and yours,

My condolences on your loss. I have fond memories of stopping by your house on Ada as teenagers and your Dad always being friendly and humorous; even had nicknames for all of us. I used him as a college reference without asking or even telling him and he sent a glowing recommendation! A great guy.

I knew Ray many years ago when he was the Regional Administrator for DOL. He was a well known and well respected manager who always had a kind word to say to any employee who approached him. My condolences to his family.
