So sorry to hear about Ray.  I still remember him on his wedding day to Zana; what a celebration of joy.  Loved the bio, your Dad had many interests and we loved spending time with him.  Stan and Jerolyn Baldwin

So sorry for your loss Ray was an exceptional person.   Arlene

Ray was such a gentle kind man, one of the great ones. My broken heart to yours 

Raymond was such a kind and caring person. He taught me how to ride my bike, patiently and graciously running beside me as I learned. He carried me home from school one day because he wanted to go a “short cut” which turned out to be muddy and he didn’t want me to get dirty—and I was a handful! And he was always smiling! Even when his model plane crashed his smile never faded. Nor did the pieces of his plane which lived behind our couch for years! I never saw him get mad; he seemed to rise above the rough patches of life. Raymond was a shining star in my universe. What a blessing to have known him! My heartfelt condolences to Zana and the rest of Raymond’s family.

Dear Uncle Raymond.  My earliest memories go back to when I was just 3 yrs old, visiting you from Canada. Every early childhood image is with you and your Cessna.  Your humor was a constant. Even up to your last days your big smile amd twinkling eyes lightened the room. You were such a big part of my growing up. It is so hard to say "goodbye". But I am  grateful for all the years I was able to see you. All my love to Zana, Tim, Tiffany, Shawna, Elliot and Sydney...and all the extended world of family and friends that loved you so much. 

Ray was the best. We have fond memories of time spent with him. Our condolences to Zana and his family
