I knew Ray when my family lived in the Sultan Basin. Ray was just up the road. He was friends with my brother, Gordy. I moved to Olympia in 1958 and over the years, have wondered where he was and hoped he was having a good life. Sounds like he hit the jackpot! No one deserved it more. My thoughts are prayers are with you and as you celebrate his life.
