Personal note from Ray's DaughterJenny

My daddy was the most amazing person , He worked hard all of his life Logging and later on working with the family in Lawncare and Landscaping. He was the best father and grandfather that I and my kids could have ever had. I got 36 years with him and although we made lots of memories together I just wish we could have had more!!! We had our good times and bad times but nomatter what We always loved each other and We always had each others back. I am honored and blessed to call him daddy and even though his time on earth with all of us came to an end for now, We will see him again one day when our time here is up! Through his life he built a legacy that we only hope when can even come close too,and through his family and their lives his legacy will continue as well as will his memory.He will always live through us and in our hearts.GOD broke our hearts that day when he took you home ,but I know He only takes the best! I love you daddy for ever and for always ! I miss you more than words could ever possibly say .So until we meet again I will carry and hold you in my heart forever !Fly High Up There In Heaven! Ill see you again someday!
