How delighted Ray would be to see these condonlences for him on the web. He wanted to learn the computer, but he started a bit too late in life.

He was my companion on the spiritual journey. Whenever I phoned him, he always said, "I love you" before hanging up. Knowing he is no longer around makes me very sad, but I know he's ahead of me on the spiritual journey now, enjoying freedom from the problems he had in his last years.
