I met Ray in 1996, when I took the job as Office Manager at CHS. I just loved working with Ray. He made my job much easier and more pleasant. No request was unanswered. He was funny, interesting, happy and always a gentleman. He would bring his wife in to meet me and she gave me some wonderful handmade gifts.He is a loss to the world.
I will remember him with love.

I didn’t know Ray, but I knew Ray’s father, Harvey Peletier. I was a nurse at the hospital in Butte and he was one of my patients in early 1958. He made an impression on me because he was such a nice man. I’m sure his son was just as nice.l We came to Butte in 1957 where my husband came to work for the ACM as a new mining engineer.
