I always liked the time spent with Ray, gift of gab and a great sense of humor gone but not really

To the Wolverton Family-
I have recently learned of Ray's passing from Howie Marella this weekend. My brother Vince and I were classmates of Joe and remember fondly of Ray and your entire family growing up in Stone Park. Ray Jr. was very kind in sending my family condolences regarding the passing of our father.
He is in our prayers.

To Clare, Brandon and the entire Wolverton Family,
My deep and heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all. I will never forget meeting Ray at Fran and Joe's wedding. I never laughed so much as I did sitting in the limo with him that day. A sweet and dear man with a very big heart. I know that little Joey will miss his Uncle Ray Ray very much. My prayers are with you all at this very sad and difficult time.
