Joe & I were so very sad to hear from Butch of Ray’s passing - he had fought the good fight bravely as always! We send our most sincere condolences to all of Ray’s family - may they know he is at peace and well now for he was an one of the most outstanding officers & friend & your cherished one - but most of all, God welcomed His child home - indeed He came from the East! We still have his beautiful Christmas card he sent in years past from you!
