Dear Ray's Family,
I had the privilege of working with Ray at Ross Elementary in San Diego during the early 90's. My job required me to be in his work office often and Ray was always pleasant and helpful to me, such a nice guy! A few years after retirement, he came back for a visit and looked 10 years younger, so happy, rested, and loving Montana. I'm so glad he enjoyed his last years with the family he loved.
