Raymond Richie My brother and I have known Ray for over 70 years. I remember our first meeting. Ray came to NY around 1955 to live with Lelar Mae and her family in Jamaica NY. Years later we often joked about that first meeting. Lucius once told Ray that he was going to Hollywood – Ray responded "OK, The walk will do you good." We all grew remarkably close. Ray had two families. One in SC and the other in NY. Because of who he was and how he carried himself, he was unanimously loved, respected, and admired by all of us. Ray was fierce – never giving people grief and never taking it! He was generous and extremely responsible to his family. He had a sense of humor and was a handsome man. "Simply stated, my cousin and friend was a good man"!
