No matter it was Rain, Blizzard or shine the morning coffee breaks took place. He was always proud of his children and his grandchildren and would go the length for them. Brutally honest and would give the shirt of his back to anyone in need. Many fond memories of Ray. Rest In Peace Raymond.
Ray was like a second father to me
Brutally honest and sincere.
He let Greg and myself use his shop for many months to repair and sell vehicles.
He was always there to teach us new ways to fix a vehicle
Another memory is the breakfast he used to cook for his dogs.
They ate better than I did (steak and eggs) lol
RIP Ray
You will always be in my memories
My dad and I had different type of relationship but I was good for us both. I have always loved him even though he was able to drive me crazy at the drop of a hat. My heart is torn by his passing . Though I am glad he is finally at peace I will miss him immensely.
Sometimes he was quite harsh , when I was a child, but as I grew up he became kinder and I always found him quite funny and realistic. Those are the values I remember him by, and I realy value those also.
Although my relationship with my father was complicated at times,my love and respect for him will remain strong and steadfast forever. I am the person that i have become because of him. Lori often tells me that i am so much like my father…. I don’t believe that she is complimenting me, but it seems to put a smile on my face everytime. I have always and will remain proud to call him Dad. I love him and will miss him dearly.
