Ray was one of a kind. A sweet, kind, loving and thoughtful man who loved and adored his family and cherished his friends. Ray always had a joke or a way to make everyone around him smile and laugh. His personality was magnetic. He was always willing to lend a hand and help others and would go out of his way to ensure everyone around him was happy.
