To be absent from the body is to bdd ed present with the lord . I know from many talks we had that Ray is in heaven today so this separation is only temporary . Ray was one of the smartest guys I ever known and he taught me a lot. He was one of the best, and he loved hs family more than anything. It f d isn’t seem fair that he didn’t get to enjoy more years of retirement, but sometimes god takes his best home. Keep an eye out for us Ray , look forward to seeing you again , brother.
So sorry to hear that Ray has passed way too soon. He was not only a pleasure to work with at the Forest Kroger but He was that meat department. Always patient and kind with the guys working for him and loved by the customers.
We are so sorry to hear this his dad Russell worked with my dad on weekends and after retirement and was one of the best people and hardest
workers we ever had in 55 yrs of business. Ray reminded me of his dad always so friendly and upbeat . We are sending thoughts and prayers from Bob Jones and his sons.
