Dear Fereshteh,  We knew and socialized with you and Ray for 40 years as our paths were similar. Ray was a most pleasant man,good company with whom it was easy to have discussions though sometimes with different views.  He always kept his youthful demeanor. We were surprise to learn he served in WW2 as thought him my age ( too young for WW2).   With fond memories of our good times together.  Jerry and Paricia

A unique and special man.....we met in Iran in 1958 when he was my boss. We had a great time as field geologists traveling and camping out in the mountains and deserts of that beautiful country. I think he would be happy to be remembered as one of the very best field geologists of his time. Ray was intelligent and had an enquiring mind. He was a good husband to his sweet, loyal wife and a loving father to his two children. He was my oldest friend and I thought of him as family. I will miss him.

My dear friend Ray was the kindest, sweetest, most generous friend I have ever known. He never forgot to remember his family and my family when he would go out of the country. Our family admired Ray so much and he will be missed by all who knew him. Feri, you, Lissa and Ronald are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. All my love always, Judie

What a beautiful photo of one of the most brilliant, personable and just absolutely fun men I have even known. I loved my Uncle Ray so much! I have to tell a little story about when he was in Dallas working and was to come to a dinner party at my home. Well, he arrived an evening too early and we had the best time just visiting without the other guests! He did return the next evening, but it was our secret that we had already enjoyed each others company and could care less that it was a repeat performance!! I am guessing we will meet again and enjoy a nice glass of wine and a great chat. I  will always love him and Auntie Feri just know you and Ronald and Lissa are in my thoughts. He was a wonderful man so glad I had him in my life. 
Love to you all , Dianne

There are certain people we are blessed to cross paths with that we know immediately we will never forget. Ray Moon is one of those people. I think of the immediate charm and instant respect Ray commands when he enters a room. I had the privilege of getting to know Ray and his epic upbringing like serving in two wars. I witnessed his love and admiration for his wife and children. Ray is a man that could say so much by actually speaking very little. He is already sadly missed but now not suffering. 
God Bless Ray Moon and his amazing family that fought for his very last day on this earth.

Darling Ray.  So many memories and so many good times to remember
mostly in the garden eating or drinking with Ray forgetting to put the food on
the barbecue.  So many lovely Christmas times especially when Jack was a puppy and Ray spent the whole day playing with him.   He was a 
great and lovely man with a wicked sense of humour much loved by all of us.
My heart goes out to you Fereshteh and Lissa and Ronald.  How lucky he was
to be surrounded by his family who loved him so much.  We will miss you lots.

Darling Ray, Beautiful blue eyes and the best sense of humour.   I remember him as if it were yesterday, grilling kebabs in his beloved garden next to his glorious rose beds.  I am sure he was happy that he spent his last days with all his family around him in the U.S.   It is a loss for all of us who knew him and were so very fond of him.   He had great personal dignity and loyalty to his friends and to Fereshteh and I miss him already.

A totally lovely man with the most beautiful teasing blue eyes. A joy to banter with, exchange opinions in battles of wit, disagree and agree with. Never a dull moment in all the 55 years of close and distant friendship. Always a man of immense learning, integrity, loyalty, wit and affection. To know him was to love and respect him. He will be sorely missed. Condolences to you, Fereshteh Aziz, his champion and devoted wife. And to Ronald and Lissa your loving offspring. May he rest in peace.

Fereshthe,   I remember when I first met you and Ramon how considerant of each other you were.   Every time I was with you the love and concern for each other continued, which is amazing being married this long.  I shall not forget Ramon's dry humor--especially what I gave ya'll (I had to use my southern heritage) when you moved.  One very smart good man!!  I want you and your children, including "the boys" to find a perfect peace with very sweet memories.   Love and Kisses,    Linda Werner

During our short time knowing Ramon he displayed a compassion and breadth of knowledge which made becoming fond of his company so easy. His hospitality was unparalleled, and every night spent in Moon household was a true pleasure. He will be greatly missed by us both. Hugs and kisses Lesley and Paul. XXX

Dear Fereshteh, Lissa and Ron. It will be so hard to face the first year without your husband and father, but the love of family and friends can help carry you through. I know this to be true. It takes time and tears and laughter and fond memories to help you grieve. Ray will always be with you and remember he loved you all. Love each other and celebrate his memory every day.
My sympathy is with you,

My lovely Fresht, this is so sad.  I have known Ray all of my life. Think of all the good things and the fun we all had at Christmas times.  Do you remember the time that Ray ate the bowl of pot pouri, thinking it was a bowl of crisps -  that was so funny.  Ray will stay in my heart forever and we will miss him very much.  I will think of him every year on July 5th.  Lots of love and thoughts to you all.

My dear Moonie and family,thinking of you all at this very sad time.Ray will be sadly missed by all.A very lovely man.Lots of love Vanessa xxx

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Moon family at this difficult time. I have known Ray for 35 years and am certain that he dearly loved Fereshteh and their two children.
Ray was a gentle man with unquestioned integrity. He was a true friend and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
To the family, I hope your hearts will soon be filled with wonderful memories as you celebrate a life well lived.

My memories of our lovely Ray was always of him pottering in his garden or watching his American football late at night...about him saying to Fereshteh ' hey ferry you always put too much salt on your food!!! ' 
I will miss his funny hat he used to wear when Fereshteh would have one of her fancy parties ....moony dressed up like she belonged in a dynasty series and ray the casual laid back man dressed like he belonged in a Dallas series on the ranch!!! Our very own JR Ewing but with a heart of gold! 
Till we meet again Ray rest peacefully 
Love and thoughts always your dear friends
Lia Nick and baby Jack and not forgetting tinto the cat!! Xxxxxx

My dearest Fereshteh, Lissa and Ron..my heart goes out to you all.  I am so lucky to have met your Ray, even as brief as our visit was to your home in Florida.  I love this picture you posted - he looks so peaceful (and handsome!!)  A great way to remember him for sure.
Keith and I send our love to all of you, as well as to the felines who loved him so much and are keeping his bed warm.
Love,
DeeDee & Keith

Our heart and thoughts go out to the family at this difficult time.  From all the wonderful stories Lissa has told us of her father, it sounds like he had a wonderful and exciting time with the love of his life, Fereshteh and his two children.  
Take comfort in knowing he is watching over all of you.  We are here if you need anything.
Camelle, Joel & Colton.
