Mike and Laura,
I just learned of your father's passing and wanted to express my sadness at hearing the news.
I still remember your father fondly and with respect.
I remember a good father and a good coach. I learned lessons about hustle and endurance from the time on the field with him - valuable lessons that still serve.
I hope that this message finds you both healthy and happy and doing well in life.
Please feel free to contact me if you ever have the desire to catch up - my email address is attached.
Again, I am sorry for your loss.
Steve

Dear Laura, Mike and family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy. I worked for Ray on Guam and I also remember Doris and you as children. FYI, your high school,JFK high school was condemmed last year and has to be rebuilt. I may be leaving here in a couple of years since my sentence of over 40 years is up. Probably will end up in NV. I saw Tommy Tomasiak at Steve's funeral a few years ago. Peggy is still in Temecula, CA and Michael is still in CHIPs.
"They never die that live in the hearts they leave behind"
Warm regards, Lance

I was a boyhood friend and neighbor of Ray's. I lived at 1417 Beech Ave. in Charleston next door to Ray. He was called big Ray and I was ltttle Ray. I often wondered what become of Ray. I had no idea he still lived in WV. I'm sorry for your loss. I think I have a picture or two of Ray and me when we were kids if you're interested I could scan them and e-mail them to you. If you have and e-mail address you can e-mail me.
Sorry again for your loss, Ray Thompson.
