Ray and I played high school football together.  He was a buddy.  A friend.  He was a good person.  In his core there was only warmth and goodness.   Please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences for your loss.  Knowing the connection to Star of the Sea please explore the Katerina Goitz Foundation.  They helped me with the grief of sudden loss and learning to find peace.

Dear Judge Pierce,

Hugs and Prayers for the loss of your son.  May the memories and God's grace comfort the family  in this time of sorrow.

Dear Deanna and Andary family,

I am lifting you up in prayer during this very difficult time, and will for many days to come.

I am deeply sorry for your loss and pray that you find strength in our loving God.

On behalf of the Capuchin friars, I offer condolences to the family and friends of Raymond Andary. May he rest in peace, and may God's mercy console those who are mourning his death. Raymond and his family are in the prayers of the Capuchin friars. The Lord give you peace.

Ray and Lynne,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.  There are really no words.  When we lost Nick, I found comfort in this Prayer.  It helped me get thru some tough times, hopefully it will do the same for you.  As always, my prayers are for you and your family.  If there is ever anything I can do, please reach out. 

Prayer for God’s Calming Love

God of Mercy, come to me.
My heart is heavy with burdens and pain.
I am anxious, and the future is uncertain.
Call me to You, God, every day in prayer.
I give the troubles of my heart to you.
Take them; replace my worry with the strength I need to trust in You, for You are the answer to every question.
You are the light in all darkness.  Amen.

Though we have lost touch over the years, the DeFour family still holds such wonderful memories of Ray.  He was a good friend of Matt and Drew's at Our Lady Star of the Sea grade school.  Your entire family were such a support to us when our son Mark died; so we ache for your loss and know of the pain you all must be feeling.  Please know of our love, our condolences and our prayers.  We are embracing you all from afar.  May Ray rest in peace and may the God of all comfort wrap you all in His loving care.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Ray’s passing, and my heart goes out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. I had the privilege of knowing him as the talented author Jordan K. Nightsage, whose passion for storytelling shone brightly in every conversation. Ray’s enthusiasm for fantasy writing, especially his love for The Lord of the Rings and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, was infectious, and I cherished hearing about his creative journey, including his exciting transition toward incorporating AI into his work. His connection to C.S. Lewis’s stories reflected a deep appreciation for themes of hope and redemption, which he often wove into his own narratives.

Ray’s devotion to his children was evident in the way he spoke of them so often and with such pride. I learned that he poured his heart into writing a series of books for them, weaving stories of courage and love that reflected his deep care as a father. He may not have shared this with everyone, but I felt it was a beautiful testament to his character that deserves to be celebrated here:

I remember how excited Ray was about launching the Leo James series, which he discussed with such joy in an interview (shared in the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Focus group - link above). His creativity and world building were truly inspiring, and his stories will continue to touch the lives of those who read them. My thoughts are with his family, and I hope the love and light he shared through his words bring you some comfort in the days ahead.

With heartfelt condolences,
Myles Wagner

So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers.

Dearest Ray, Lynne, and Families. I am deeply sorry for your heartbreaking loss. My  prayers for our Lord's peace, and comfort to blanket you at this difficult time.  I remember Raymond as a one-year-old little boy and playing with him in your basement.  Love, Kitty Atkinson-Karr.

Judge Pierce and family,
It is with my deepest sympathy that I offer this expression regarding what a kind and pleasant person Attorney Andary was.  I encountered him many times as a court reporter in the Juvenile Court, and had great respect for his work ethic, and his always kind and respectful disposition.   My prayers are with the family for God's peace in this solemn time.  Be encouraged that He is always with you.

Love, April Green

Ray Jr was fun loving and a delight to have around. He and his parents would spend lively and lovely summer days with us at Harsens Island . Ray Jr would always be the first to pitch in and help out regardless of the task. He and his family were among our closest friends. The Metry family will dearly miss Ray Jr.

My deepest sympathy to all of you!  May the fun memories and the love of family and friends  bring you comfort in this time of grieving.  My prayers are with you ❤️  
Enza Slomski 😞

Ray was such a sweet soul to all who knew him.
When Dave and Ray coached Raymond in baseball, wow, so many fun memories in those years.  Our families have been connected for such a long time and we pray Gods peace at this most difficult time.

Dave and Maria Chapman

Ray was a kind, fun cousin who helped me out when I needed it. You are missed.
Thanks Ray .

Dearest Ray and Lynn,   I will never forget Ray walking with Ray the 3rd and Gloria. The smiles on their faces showed how much they enjoyed being in his company He always spoke to me and brought the children over to pet my dog Sammy. I was proud of him when he told me about getting his MBA, knowing how much he loved the kids to better their life with him. He was so happy talking about it.  One day he asked me for my oldest son’s no. They graduated together and played  lacrosse together. Ray said he wanted to reconnect ! He had the kindness most gentle face! You were Blessed to have had him as he was to have had you! I was also Blessed to have to have known him!  Love hugs and prayers!

My condolences to judge Pierce and the family.  It was a pleasure being the judge's court clerk and meeting her sweet warm family. I am very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
