Hello, my name is Susan. I had the honor of knowing Ray for 14 years,  he was a loyal customer at Dollar Tree.  We became friends . He would go into dollar tree 3 times a week. I became worried as I hadn't seen him for about 3 weeks. So I found this memorial on line. My Condolences to all his family especially his children and grandchildren. Thank you Ray for the years I had the privilege of knowing you. May God bless you and be with you all. Ray will definitely be missed. Ray you are with your beautiful wife now.

This is to uncle Ray‘s children.

From the day I was born on your birthday, I have always shared that day with you. I have many memories and will always celebrate our birthday! Love you grandpa.

Well Grandpa, what a life! You always kept family close to your heart and spent time with every single one of your children and grandchildren. I can remember all the car shows and camping trips with you! Two particular events will always stand out when I think back on what you meant to me. 
1) Our camping trip to Leadville when Dad, Mom, Tyler, Grandpa and me were all standing around the fire in the dark trying to warm up just before bed. Our backs were turned to the forest when we smelled a skunk, Dad told us they usually only spray when threatened, and we all looked around trying to figure out what spooked it and turned back around to find Grandpa hastily running into the camper leaving his family to fend for themselves. Apparently he didn’t want to be food
2) Thanks for the chance to drive your El Camino around with you several times in the last few years. It was nice to be able to spend that time with you just the two of us! It was incredible to see how much it made you smile going fast again and listening to that sweeeeet sound! To still enjoy your car and enjoy the conversation we had will be a treasured memory. 
Thank you for being an amazing Grandpa, rest well, you deserve it and please take care of Grandma and Tyler for me

Dad,
In my heart, I thought of you today but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and the days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories, and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which I’ll never part.
God has you in His arms, I have you in my heart.

Dear Uncle Ray,
Even though we lived miles apart I thought of you often and Have memories of when I was very young and as I grew up and few phone calls over the years. I miss you and love you . And when you see my mom and the rest of the family tell them I love & miss them too.  You will always be in my heart and thoughts. Until we see each other again .
                            Love you Always and Forever
                                           Your Niece
                                                 Earline

Dad, thanks for all your advice and patience while I was growing up. Can I ask for 1 more favor! We yo find mom and my son Tyler, let them know I really miss them and love them dearly. Love you dad and we will see each other again.

Dad I really enjoyed you going to car shows with me. I’m going to really miss your company.

You’re the best dad and grandfather. Ray Jr, Austin and Tyler.

I remember taking on some of our adventure like the time we did the monsters truck ride or the Alpine slide you were always game to go. I will miss going to the races with you and finding you always with hotdog in your hand. Rest is peace Dad Love Renee

Grandpa,
To be apart of your life for 32 years as your oldest grandson we have shared a lot of great times and moments. I have learned a lot from you and many things in-between. It's always a hurtful moment to deal with loss of a loved one. I am proud and honored that you were my grandfather and will cherish every moment and memory we shared. I love you and may you rest peaceful with grandma.
                           Your oldest grandson
