I worked with Ray at Janssen Law Center, we had good days & bad.
Ray was a really intelligent & very honest. A GREAT GUY!!!
His passing is a shame. Rest in peace Ray! 

My deepest prayers are with Claudia and the children. Ray was a tireless worker, a loving father and husband. He cared very much for
his family and his students as well. He left this world a better by his efforts. A long time friend. Fred Reader

Our love and prayers are with you Claudia, and with all the family. Ray gave us a lifelong friendship beyond measure. His warmth, humor, and that contagious smile will always be in our hearts. God bless you.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Ray!

     We have been neighbors to the Bills for many years and were in the same profession. Ray and I would spend a hours comparing techniques and methods in discussion of educational technology ...usually in our yards. I miss those moments we shared,

I am sure that the teaching and technical conc epts are appreciated by many of his former stuents and  fellow teachers.

May God comfort and bless his family!

Claudia and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Ray was always so friendly and had a smile for everyone.
God bless you all.

So sorry to hear of Ray’s passing.  I first met him when I had Jennifer & Jeff at Willow School. Later I  worked with him thru IEA activities .  He was a strong advocate for the teaching profession.  May Peace & comfort surround the family at this difficult time.

Claudia and Family,
Marilyn and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. I have so many memorable experiences that I shared with Ray from our teaching times at Central Junior High in East Peoria, including the faculty after hour celebrations and the many rides home that we made together. Great times and great memories! We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Brad Everett

Sending deepest sympathy to your family. 
Many fond memories of growing up with him and his family through my high school years. Such a funny and personal man to be with. 
Rest in Peace dear friend. 
Terry(Kennedy) & Bill Nauman 

I remember many fun times with Ray at Civic chorus and during our performances. I didn’t know Claudia very well but now she has become one of my dear friends. He was so blessed to have her by his side. 

So very sorry for the loss of Ray.  He was great teacher and friend to many.  My prayers for you, Claudia, and your family.

Claudia and Family,
I am so sorry and sad to learn of Ray's passing. It has been a few years since I have enjoyed visiting with him. 
I can recall one specific afternoon, I met Ray and JoAnne Luft-Miller at McDuffs. We were celebrating Ray's birthday. We soon realized that we had an interesting fact in common - our birthdays and birth  months were the same - JoAnne 7/7 ; Ray 9/9 ; and mine 12/12 
One of the many fun things about Ray was learning interesting  pieces of trivia. 
Ray was consistently fun and upbeat. 

Hugs to each of you.

So sorry to hear of Ray's passing. My fond memory of Ray is that he helped me out by playing the organ for my audition tape of the national anthem for a Cubs game back in '86. He was a sweet man. Peace to your family, Claudia. ♥️
