Great guy, joy and I worked for them for a while. Him and romaine treated us very well. When we got through with our work, they would want to go out to eat. Exceptional people. Sorry for the loss

I have wonderful memories of my Uncle Ray. He was so interesting and a lot of fun to be around! He always had stories to tell! My kids were interested in space travel and he always took the time to talk to them. He was always making us laugh. One time we went to a Civil War Reenactment and my son T.J. who was four at the time, was sitting on the front seat of the car between Uncle Ray and I. T.J. found Uncle Ray's garage door remote on the seat and started to examine it. Instead of telling a four year old to put it down, Uncle Ray said "don't press that button, it will eject your mother out of the car." T.J. looked at me and pressed the button as hard as he could! We send our condolences to his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Uncle Ray enriched all of our lives.
