It has been about two weeks since I first learned of Dr. LeFort's passing and came to this place. My mind and prayers so often turn to this man and his family and his practice.  May the words of love and appreciation for him (and for Debbie and Karen--we will truly miss you, too) give his wife and children some comfort.  He shared his love of family often and we loved hearing of the latest interests and hobbies...we are so very sad for you all.   May God bless you with that peace that surpasses human understanding...you are all in our prayers.

I am beyond saddened and shocked when I called the office this morning to hear this news. I have never trusted any dentist as I did Dr. lefort. What a truly kind, compassionate person. Praying everyday for his wife, children, Karen, and Debbie. God bless each one of you in this time of sorrow. I will never again find a team that truly cared about me and went the extra mile to help all the time . Will miss his entire practice.

I am a contractor and sometimes it is very tough out there. Every time I would go to Dr LeFort's office Karen and Debbie and Dr. LeFort seemed liked family.

Dr. LeFort has been my dentist since he opened his practice in Fort Myers.  What a shock it was when I went to the office yesterday and was told that he had passed away and his staff was no longer there.  He was a gentle person, fun to chat with, and he thoroughly enjoyed sharing stores about things he did with his family. My belated but sincere sympathy to his family.

Dr LeFort has been our family dentist since his arrival In Ft Myers. How did I miss this?  We are heartbroken for his beautiful family. God must have needed him very badly. He will be dearly missed as will Karen and Debbie. May God bless you all

Dr. Lefort was my dentist for years and was always compassionate and kind.  I trusted him totally to do great work and to help out, financially, if needed.
I will miss him but I know that he is in a much better place with God. My prayers go out to his family and those who knew this wonderful man.
Sincerely,
Lyndy Griffin

what happen to him? I did not know until I cound't call the office for appt. I am so sorry for your lost,,,,,I been going there about 10 years now...wow what a shock !

Ray was our family dentist for many years, and a great one. Also spent time with Ray and his family at Baseball, coached his son, quality people, he will be sorely missed by our family, May God bless his family.

I am shocked to hear that an old friend is gone. I had the pleasure to be apart of Ray's life for just a short time. He was such a great force. He was calm and confident. He demonstrated what it was to be a great father. I remember when Ryan was very small, Ray and I would head over to the Burger King to get Ryan his hockey pucks (hash browns). Ryan you have a father who went to the ends of the earth for your happiness. Ray was a peacemaker. 
Kristin, although we have never met, I wish you and your family my deepest condolences. Ray was like a big brother to me and I know that he will be a immense void in a lot of lives because he is in mine. 
I love you Ray.

After arriving in Florida a short time ago we were shocked to learn of Dr.LeFort's death. We so appreciated his professional treatment of us while we wintered in Florida. Our condolences to his family.

Stay strong momma! He's watching over you & the children

Just heard the news from a previous co-worker about Dr. Lefort.  So saddened by this news and my deepest condolences are with the Lefort family during this time of grieving.  I worked with Dr. Lefort directly out of dental school.  He was funny. He enjoyed picking on me, but it made work fun.  I will always remember those times.

shocked to hear of his passing. keeping his loved ones in my prayers.

We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss.  Our prayers to his wife, children and family.

I didn't know Ray personally or Kristen for that matter but I know her from a moms group and I pray for her daily

My heart is heavy after hearing about the loss of a great man. I had the honor to work with him when he first got out of Dental school. My heart goes out to his wife, children and family.

So sadden to hear of the loss of an esteemed colleague.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

My daughters and I have come to love the family. I have not come out of a state of shock since Kristin phoned me Saturday morning. As we helped Kristin prepare things in the house I walked in on my 16 year old balling on Emma's bed. She said she was so sad to think of her growing up without her Daddy. This is how we feel for them all. Things do not feel the same without Ray around. The family has a very difficult road ahead of them especially Kristin who had two young children who do not quite grasp what has happened. Liam was upset because he said his Daddy took him to all his favorite places. I pray that Ryan and Austin always remember his devoted their Dad was to them and their sports and how proud of them he was. I pray that God provides the family with all they need to help them through this difficult time. I pray that God highlights the paths for the future that he chooses for the family so they know clearly the direction to go.

Thinking of you and your family. Prayers in this difficult time. From Jess LeFort's family.

Ray was the quiet in the storm of our dental school experience.  He was reserved, but when he said something, I literally laughed for an hour.  

Kristin, the lovely children, family, and friends ~
Please know we are thinking of you all and praying for your peace and comfort.

We are in shock, what a tragedy.  You will be very missed.  Thoughts and prayers with your family.   RIP

This is such a hard day! I have thought about you so often over the last few days. It all comes down to the fact you were a great guy Ray....throughout high school and into our adulthood always wanting to help someone (many messages telling me to come in and try something to help with the migraines...always going above and beyond-haha). May you be an angel to your four beautiful children. Kristin, my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. You will be missed. RIP Friend!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and staff.  He will be so missed by so many.
