    We are so sad to hear of Rays passing. He was a very sweet guy and a wonderful neighbor for many years. He was always outside doing something or taking his dogs out for a ride. He absolutely adored his family and we know you all loved him very much. Sending healing hugs and prayers to you all. Rest In Peace Ray!!

    We are so grateful to have known Ray and enjoyed so many good times through the years we will cherish! He was such a good man, great sense of humor and wonderful friend especially to our Dad, who passed 9 years ago. His stories were so well remembered by all of us!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family snd we know he and Dad are having a reunion and looking over us still protecting us all! Love, the Enderle’s and COL (s) Karen and Regi Malebrancheb

    Dear Betty and Family,
    So sad about Ray. I met him as a fellow swimmer at the Broadwater. He was charming and great fun. He knew everyone by first name. He always jumped into the pool! Ray had so many experiences to talk about including, the military, flying, fishing, his dogs, hunting and gardening. He always said he married the prettiest girl he knew. I am honored to have known him.
