Rachel R
I met Ray about two years ago, and from the very beginning, there was an instant connection. He had a gentle kindness about him, a deep appreciation for people, and a spirit that made you feel seen and valued. It was immediately clear that he was someone special.
Ray spoke often and lovingly about his family, especially Mary, who quickly became just as dear to my heart. His warmth, humor, and unmistakable charm — along with his playful flirting — brought so much light and laughter into every conversation. He had a way of making even ordinary moments feel meaningful.
In life, we sometimes meet people unexpectedly who leave a lasting imprint on our hearts. Ray was one of those rare souls. His strength, determination, and genuine spirit were truly inspiring.
I feel incredibly privileged to have known him, even for such a short time. Ray will always be remembered as a beautiful spirit who brought joy to those around him, and he will be deeply missed.
