I had the great privilege of meeting Ray in 1996 while he was working for a law firm above my paralegal company.  He was a good friend and gave me legal advice.  I was so happy he found Heather. I will never forget the day he came back from the library with stars in his eyes after meeting Heather.   I will always remember him as a kind person.

So sorry. Ran into an old attorney friend who told me. Though we had not spoke in many years. He was a great family man. I remember when he meet Heather.  He loved going to the law library. 
Heather caught his eye. And that was it.
Rest In Peace. ROB.

I just learned about Ray’s passing.  My deepest condolences to Heather, Andrew and Brett.  Ray loved his family very much.  He will be missed and I am sure the legal community will miss him as well.

I was saddened to learn of Ray's passing last Friday.   It made me again stop and consider my own mortality.   We enjoyed a lot of good times over the years working on cases all over the country.   I saw him just a few weeks ago as we were both mediating a case at the same location here in C. Florida.    As we were talking, he reminded me of what a great time we had attending a Dolphins vs. Colts game in my home town of Indianapolis.   Ray was such a Dolphins fan and I had Colts season tickets from the very beginning.   We stayed at my parent's home and shared some meals and good stories with them.   They fondly remember Ray and the great time we all had.     They too were saddened to learn of his passing.   For many years when I first opened my own law practice Ray and his former law partner Bryan Crews allowed me to share office space with them and he was always very generous with his time and resources while I was getting my own law practice up and running.   I know that he was very proud of Andrew and Brett and the men that they had become.    He spoke of them and their ongoing education often.   I haven't seen Ray as much recently but will dearly miss my friend and colleague.   God bless you and your family my friend, rest in peace.

So sad to lose such a good friend way too soon.  A well-respected lawyer in our community, Ray has been a great source of ideas and support for many years, helping families from Florida and around the country.  

Heather, Andrew and Brett, my deepest sympathy and wishes that Ray is at peace.  He is missed!
