I was so sorry to see that Raymond had passed away.   He had been helping me with my genealogy book.  Even though I was one of his younger cousins, he was always willing to take time and share his vast knowledge of the Lucas family.  Condolences to his family and friends even though it is a year late.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Ray.  Ray and I were friends at the Troy Historic Village and shared stories of new findings about Oakland County and Michigan. He poured over materials  and worked tirelessly on research projects. He was a sweet dear man, and he (and his research) will long be remembered. 

Ray was a good friend of mine. He was so open to new ideas about history and so willing to share anything he could about history. I will miss our conversations at OCPHS about detective shows and books, about history, about just about anything. I will miss him very much. Peace and sympathy to his family.

I knew Ray through Troy Historic Village, Oakland County Genealogical Society and Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society in his retirement years.  He was a serious and dedicated researcher.  This with his knowledge and skills will be sorely missed. Condolences to Ray’s family. Peace to your hearts and minds. 

Ray, 
You were such a credit to History, your research helped so many. Your smiling face, your quiet demeanor, your willingness to lend a helping hand where ever necessary, what will we do without you? My friend, you will be sorely missed! 
Blessings on your new adventure! 
Barbara

As a member of the MISSAR Color Guard, Ray helped serve
Full Military Honors on many Revolutionary War Patriots.
He served with great pride and will be greatly missed.


I meet Ray many years ago researching my family ancestors in Troy. Thru our mutual love of history and genealogy,  he has always 
been someone I could ask for help and know he would find an answer.  Auburn Hills Historical Society has lost a great member 
and friend.  
I will deeply miss you Ray,

My condolences to his family. 

Ray in front of the Troy Historic Village, 2019.

Ray was a tireless volunteer for Troy Historical Society and a wonderful person to call friend. He was an amazing researcher and just the kindest soul.  I learned a great deal from him.  It was a sad day when he stepped back from his regular Thursday research, but he would frequently stop in just to say hello.  He gave so much of his time and expertise to expanding our knowledge of early Troy and he gave so much of his heart to everything he did. He will be dearly missed. 

I knew Ray from our mutual involvement in the Sons of the American Revolution.  Ray was a tireless worker in the Oaks Chapter of the SAR, helping to usher many new members into the organization. He shared his knowledge of genealogy generously and had a wealth of patience. He was a quiet, kind man who will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to call him a friend.


Ray, was a friend, teacher, historian and a valued member of the Auburn Hills Historical Society. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to know him and I will miss him very much.

Ray gave a lot of heart to the Sons of the American Revolution. He was very active in the Oaks Chapter where he served as the Genealogist/Registrar. He participated in many Patriot grave marking ceremonies helping to ensure those who served in the  Revolutionary War will be recognized for many years to come. Thank you Ray for all you have done for the SAR.

Though I knew him only briefly, Ray was responsible for my induction into the Sons of the American Revolution, and integral to my life story. I am grateful our paths crossed, and for the limited time we shared.
