Event details
No memorial events are planned
Cremation has taken place at this time. In lieu of flowers or donations, I ask this of you instead; Say hello to a stranger, smile and give someone a compliment (heartfelt), or do something nice for someone and expect nothing in return. Those are the best way to memorialize Ray. As he had no enemies, loved to talk, and never met a stranger. Special thanks to all of the amazing friends and family that sent texts, calls, cards, flowers, food and most of all prayers.
