Cousin Ray is part of a group of some of the greatest men you could ever meet. I am so grateful that I was able to share a small part of his life. We sold cucumbers to him when I was a teenager and many times he would be there with the rest of them at Cousin Harvey's Store...just a couple of my fonder memories. Rest in peace, you are loved! My prayers go to the family for their loss.

So sorry to hear about Mr. Ray. When he was able to come into the FSA (old ASCS) office we all really enjoyed visiting with him. Mr. Ray was also the leader when Tim was in boy scouts and Tim has some great memories of Mr. Ray letting the scouts camp on the farm. We will keep your family in our prayers.

So sorry to hear that Mr. Ipock passed away, my sister and I used to get horse hay from him every year. He had such a great sense of humor, he made us laugh and he would help us load the hay. I know the family will miss him, such a good man. Tamala Hosteller

Dear Melanie, Bryan, Claudette, Carl, Bridget, Fanny, and William,
Your dad/brother/grandpa, was a heck of a man in so many ways. So strong and brave-he had such huge farmer's hands! But, also compassionate and gentle-I've seen him cry when he lost a cow or calf. He was always so kind to me and my family. I will never forget his coming to us during hurricane Hugo to help out with all of the downed trees on Folly Beach. I have fond memories of shrimping and fishing with him and Christine every labor day and his bringing a pig to put on the spit to cook-all the neighborhood dogs, cats, (and neighbors!) showed up! And, of course, he was hospitable and hosted me as I visited every summer to ride horses and muck stalls with Christine when I was a teen. He loved baseball; he loved ice cream; he loved animals and hunting and being outdoors; and more than anything he loved his family-you all. I'm glad I'm part of that family, too. He was the only real brother my mom ever had, even though he was a cousin. I also have a fond memory of him dancing with Christine at their 50th wedding anniversary party. He was called Crazy legs for a reason! :) We will all miss him greatly. Know that you are in my heart and prayers at this hard time. Much love and hugs,
Dr. Kathy Heinsohn
