Ray was a very special person in my life.  He was my go to guy when it came to PFD Budgets.  He saved my skin numerous times while I was running Community Services.  He was my lunch time running partner and mainly a good friend.  May he Rest In Peace.  Doug Tucker

I was shocked and saddened to read of Ray's passing. I shared both sides of the budget table while working at the City of Phoenix in the Budget Dept. I remember running a Fiesta Bowl Marathon with Ray in the early '80's. I was training like crazy and was in my best shape ever. Ray, former All American Cross Country runner, entered at the last minute and hadn't even finished a training run. We got separated at the start and I never saw Ray again. I finished at a personal best of 3:00 hours, and went to find my wife, and wait for Ray. Surprise! Ray had finished in 2:40. All American indeed.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Ray's passing. Although I know that no words can ease the loss you feel, just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will cherish my loving memories and be grateful for the life that I shared with such a special person. May you rest in peace, my friend.

We went to high school with Ray.  We loved watching him run. Dave actually went to grade school with Ray.  We both looked up to him.  He was a great athlete and human being.  He will be missed.  

Sorry to hear about Ray's passing.  He was taken from us way too soon!  My condolences to the family.  Always a pleasure working with Ray at the PFD Symposiums.  Rest easy my friend. 🙏

Jackie and boys so sorry for you loss.
I worked with Ray for 25+ years at PFD. He was a great boss, an all around  great person. I guess Bruno needed a budget person, and summon for Ray. Rest in peace Ray.
 

Whether they know it or not, everybody who worked with Ray at PFD owes him a huge debt of gratitude. Between he and the late Sharon Marksbury anything could be achieved. They always took care of us. Ray gave of his precious time for anyone who needed his help. He was good with numbers but he really liked helping people. I will always feel privileged to have been his friend and colleague.  Ray, my friend, May you Rest In Peace. 

I have many great memories working with Ray in Little League.  He was one of my mentors for the first few years.   We at District 2 are saddened by the news. 


Ray and I shared many great times together as Little League umpires.  He was always there for the kids.  He will be missed.

Ray, was a good friend, teammate and valuable resource for any budget issues we had at the PFD.  Ray always had a smile and the ability to help me work through Steve Jensen’s creative budgeting.
May he Rest In Peace.

It was always a pleasure working and spending time with Ray. His laugh was infectious. He is gone too soon and will be missed. God bless Ray Temple.

Jackie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I spent many years working with both Ray and Jackie. Some of the best working memories of my life in fact. I did a lot of growing up under Jackie’s tutelage. My prayers and hugs are with you all in this time of sorrow. 

So sorry to hear of Ray's passing. Our shared work experience goes all the way back to the early 1980's where we both worked in the City of Phoenix management and budget dept.  Ray then went to the Fire department, as did I, where we both stayed until our retirements. My condolences to Jackie.

Jackie My thoughts and prayers with all of you.  So many years of working with Ray  And many early workouts.
