Although I had not spoken with Ray in recent years, we were connected through his sons (my nephews). We will continue to keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.

James Stamps, Jr. WHS Class of '70

Ray and I didn't have an opportunity to spend time together as classmates but when did get together we made the best of the time we had.

Ray always had jokes but he also had wisdom which I identified Years later in our meeting. He was one classmate I wish we could have spent more time together during my visits home.

Even though I didn't get to see him I always ask my sister about him as during our school years we shared many meals and drink. Those were the good old days.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
