I always remember how friendly and kind Ray Harris was. He was the kind of fellow that always brought a smile to my  face and made the day a better day because I ran into him.  That is something rather unique in this world today. Prayers for his family.


Big Ray was loved by so many. He always held such a special place in my heart as well as my families’ hearts. We’ve shared so many good times together. We love you Big Ray, see you again one day. Have a few laughs again with momma and daddy. 

Ray was always such an amazing person to us growing up. He was always tolerant of all of us kids running around his house all the time and riding ponies all over the place. A lot of my childhood memories have him in them. :-) I really loved spending time around him because he always took the time to make us feel like we were important. He and my Paw Paw were always so much fun to be around and to learn from. All of my thoughts and prayers are with you all, Janet.

I have so many memories but I know this that you were the most religious stern an lovable man I knew an ,I learned a lot from you over the 33 plus yrs I knew you. You were absolutely the best grandfather any one could ask for an my kids were blessed to call you pa an have you as their pa. We will meet again. You will be deeply missed by everyone an by me definitely. Don't you fret now you walk the streets of gold everything will be taking care of down here. We love you.

Really don't know where to begin. There are so many memories. I've known Ray and his family since Buddy and I married; what a blessing! Ray was full of compassion , concern , and love for others. Always with a smile with an aura about him that brought  joy and pleasure to anyone around him; usually with a chuckle or even a "belly laugh"!  I've seen him lean over to his knees from laughing so hard. Don't ever recall seeing a frown upon his face. Truly a man of God always allowing the Lord to use him as his vessel, ministering to others with his super kind spirit. Focus on the fun memories, the ones that make you laugh! Allow God  to carry you through these times and he will give you comfort, peace  and yes,  joy.  I am so graciously  thankful to have known Ray and your beautiful family.  Praying for you all! God has one of his warriors in heaven with him now! Praying and loving you through this time.

In God's Amazing Grace with love,

We are so sorry to hear that Ray passed away. He was one of the kindest men I've ever known. He always had a smile and a hug that made you feel like someone special. Your family is in our prayers. He will be greatly missed by many!
