Ray was a wonderful man, a devoted husband to his wife Hazel, and a very kind neighbor with a memorable smile. May he rest in God’s peace.
Ray was not only my Uncle and Godfather he was a friend. We talked often and shared many personal and private ideas and thoughts. He was such a devoted husband to my Aunt Hazel and they truly had a magical relationship. I will miss him, his smile and laughter. I hope he and Aunt Hazel are together again.
Ray and Hazel were the best neighbors…. may they Rest In Peace together… eternal love …..I’m sad I’m only seeing this now
