Becky, I am so saddened by Ray's passing. The first thing Zack said when we told him was that Ray used to watch him play basketball in the afternoons. He had such a sweet spirit about him. We will miss him. Love to you and your family.

Becky and family, I first met Ray when I came to Nationwide Insurance in November of 1985. Ray was one of those people to whom you were drawn. He liked to seem like a tough guy and he could be firm at times about work related issue but in reality he was a softie. Ray had a generous spirit and I am sorry to learn of his passing, he will be missed by all who knew him and enjoyed his company. All the best to you as you are in our thoughts and prayers.
