Ray was a great friend even though miles have separated us for quite some time. Prior to his retirement, I could always expect a call when he was coming through Atlanta to say hello with the possibility of a lunch get together.
My wife Lyn and I, had the great privilege of being neighbors to Ray and Phyllis for several years in Marietta GA. There were many a nights that I would see him walking down his driveway and up mine with the intentions of going to Bruster's for our sugar treat.
We have shared stories of his times in the Marines and my time in the Navy. Lots of fun with a grunt and a sailor talking about what each did for the other. We were the transporters...and they were the fools that I was always glad were on my side.
What a great man! I am heart broken to lose him and for his family. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with Phyllis during her time of convalescence,
Love to you all and know my heart is with you and I will miss Ray tremendously, as will the world he knew.
