So sorry to learn of Ray’s passing. I have so many fond memories of Ray. He was a neighbor, just living down the road from us, and a classmate of mine. We both attended St. Brigid’s Catholic Church, receiving the Sacraments there. We were also in the same 4-H club, Happy Hollow, and had so much fun square-dancing! My deepest sympathy to his family. 🙏Ray was one of the best.💔🥹
