Florence, Sometimes there are no perfect words, only thoughtful silences that whisper of caring. You are in my prayers and thoughts and wishing God's strength and comfort at this difficult time. I remember how good you both were to me when I lost Vic. We thought the world of both of you and so enjoyed seeing you at Church. Ray was one of Vic's favorite fellow Tyson drivers. My prayers for you and the entire family. Peggy

Ray was a fine man and a hard worker who loved his family as well as his friends. He was loyal, and would honor any request made of him. Ray served the USA as a soldier, and he was proud of his service. Rest is peace , Ray. Like Paul, you fought the good fight, and you finished the race of life, with your honor and dignity intact.
