It’s been a while but always remember the wonderful way of Ray laughing a and being joyful. I was Marguerite’s favorite hairdresser. Michael Mach’s mom. Loved the video. Such happy memories. See you in the resurrection Ray. Love to Marguarite   I am on the eastern shore in. Berlin. 35 years now. So I can appreciate the video of the ocean and  Ray’s love for the shore.  Soon this wicked system will end and we will all enjoy youth and good health. (Rev. 21 vs 3and 4).  Vicki Kilroy. So so sorry for your loss

When I think back to the Blue Bell days and all the family gatherings I think of you 1st Uncle Ray. You were the life of the party and the fond memories will last me a life time. My thoughts turn to your family and I just want you to know that Janet and I will truly miss  your infectious laughter and zeal for life!     

Raymond
A kiss from your Aunt Mil to send you on your way !
Love you so much !

Ray, always fun to be around at family parties and get togethers. Always ready with a story and a joke or two to fit the occasion. You left us with so many good memories over the years! Visits to the eastern shore house on the Chester River, motorcycle dirt track races and hill climbs, the car caravan ski trip to PA in the snow and the antics on the slopes, the Army stories that you and Don would tell, and all the Christmas and New Years parties and family reunions at Rocks State park and Charlotte and Don's house. We occasionally had some serious discussions but you always knew how to bring everybody back to the serious business of enjoying life! We will miss you ! 
Love  Cliff & Lynn

Ray was smart as a whip, funny as heck, and he loved his family. He was a good man! And he could sure fix up a hot rod! We will sure miss him.

I have soooooooo many wonderful memories, Christmas and Santa, New Years Eve in Uncle Tony's basement then all the kids in bed in the attic, down the shore house, the comedy team of Ray and Don, eating, drinking and making merry!!!!!  There are too many to put in writing.  Always a fun time
I love you, I miss you.

We are so sorry to hear of our friend and Florida neighbor's passing. Ray was always so very kind to us, we enjoyed the many conversations we had. Our hearts are deeply saddened for Margaurite and family. Wishing you strength and peace. 

Ray always had a smile and a hug for you not matter the circumstances.  Some of my fondest memories are of the family functions where Ray and Don provided the comic relief.  Better than any night club act I have ever seen.  Our Kentucky Derby party will never be the same without him, although I know he will be there in spirit.  At least maybe someone else will have a chance to win the hat contest.  Ray could not be beat as the attached picture shows!  I will miss you my dear cousin.  Hopefully, heaven has a big boat with smooth seas for you to enjoy.  I will be raising a special toast to you as I watch the next Kentucky Derby.

Ray will truly be missed. Scott and I will cherish the many holidays and special events we shared with him.  There were many Thanksgiving Boat Parade celebrations at Bob and Donna’s house, many days on Bob’s deck enjoying crabs or just chatting on the deck at Tom and Leah’s summer parties just to mention a few. If the value of your estate was measured by the memories made, Ray was a very wealthy man that left us all something when he parted.
Love Scott and Tonye Cornbrooks.


Uncle Ray,  you were one character that will be missed and remembered for years to come.  One of my fondest memories is of Uncle Ray, walking into the casino on a cruise with a blond on one arm and a brunette on the other.  Of course, the brunette was his goddaughter, Mary Beth.  He was proud as punch.  He lived his life to the fullest and had a deep love for his family.  I'm sure Uncle Ray and Mom are keeping the angels busy up there, or they're the ones running the joint.  Love and miss you. MM


Cousin Raymond.  You will be truly missed.  Our houses were back to back. We grew up together.  You were Sonny's best man and Charlotte was my maid-of-honor.  I have so many happy and wonderful memories.  Love you. 💔

Uncle Ray was always a sweet person to me, the memories I have with him and everyone will stay with me forever.  Deepest sympathies to all, with all my love. Barbara

This was the only time I was able to spend time with dad in Florida. I surprised him right off the plane. My mentor, my hero I will miss you 

MR Ray was one of the kindest men I ever met through all the years I worked in the Automobile business.  Will surely be missed. Rest in Peace my good Friend.

“ You are only worth it till  someone pays you more“   
“ Please eat the shrimp, till I pick the crab 🦀 for you”   Pop understood my PA  upbringing.
Sentiments from  Pop I will never forget.  Thank you for the Love and  kindness you have given me, and I will eat the Peanut  M&M’s  in your honor always. 
Godspeed.
Love you

Ray and Marguerite were our neighbors for many years and he worked with my dad, Wylie Howell, at Lutz's.  I will never forget Ray coming over to fix our mailbox the day my dad died because someone had knocked it over.  He saw it and wanted to help.  That is the kind and sweet man I will remember.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  

Papa Ray, 
I will never forget the times and long talks we had. Thank you for taking Moana and I in with open arms and including us in your family. I am eternally grateful. Blessed to have you in our lives. 

Love you 
Your Rachel
