Ray was always pleasant and conversational! My entire family enjoyed time spent with Ray, both at our home and at my sister, Rose’s home.
We were saddened to hear of his passing.
We met Rsy and Rose dancing at various venues. We enjoyed Ray’s sense of humor and he always had a smile. We were saddened to learn of his passing
