Ray was a proud veteran and a member of the Legion. He was an honest person who didn’t hold back on his feelings. He fought in Vietnam and loved to tell stories about his experiences over there. The first thing that comes to mind about Uncle Ray is how much he was loved how in love he was with Aunt Bea. He was everybody’s favourite Uncle in my life and all of my 7 siblings. My kids adored and respected him. .
Ray was an electrician. He loved mysteries on TV. He loved to take walks to the park and he fed the squirrels; he had one favourite squirrel that always came back! Uncle Ray will be missed by all who knew him..and we are very lucky we had him for the time we did.
This is terribly sad news. I had lost touch with Ray a few years ago, but will always remember when my aunt Bea first introduced him to “the family” back in early 1970’s. As a child I remember him being great fun.
