We rented from Ray & Carol for many years and never once did we see Ray mad or hear him complain. He always had a smile on his face just like the one you remember him with everytime you think of him. We are thinking of you all.

We were with Ray and Carol for only a couple years but they have become very good friends of ours. Ray was a special guy, his humor, his wit and ability to solve problems. Ray was a very talented man and very loyal to his Family and friends. I seen Ray two days before his passing and he squeezed my hand in friendship and we both loved him and Carol with all our hearts. We loved sharing comments after Church over dinner together almost every Sunday and it was very special to Roberta and I.
Go d be with you Carol.

I was so sorry to hear of Ray's passing. We both worked at Federal-Mogul for many years. He would come through the office always with a smile and he would always speak or stop and visit. He was such a nice person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
