I am so sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I met Ray in 2012 when he stopped by my house to ask about removing some limbs from my yard & we've been friends ever since. I knew something was wrong when he didn't show up to mow the lawn after he had texted me he was coming. Ray was more than just a guy who did work around my house. We used to talk about basketball & who would win games. I sincerely considered him my friend & to find he's gone is heartbreaking. The world lost a good man & I know his family lost their beloved husband, father, brother & friend. I'm sending great big hugs to you all. I will never forget Ray & will always miss him. Please know you have my deepest sympathy on your loss.💔💔💔
