We are thinking of you with the very sad news of the loss of your brother & brother-in-law. As couples you were very close with Ray and Mary. Although the only time I would have had the pleasure to meet Ray would have been at your wedding so many years ago, like you Ron, I know Ray was a great guy and will be missed so much.

We are heartbroken by the loss of our very dear friend, Ray. What began as a chance meeting at the campground grew into a friendship we treasured deeply. From shared laughter to many games of horseshoes, those moments brought us so much joy. These memories will stay with us always, and our friend will be forever missed and lovingly remembered.
