We will be longing for your joyful spirit. Your dance moves and and your generous and loving heart. Thank you Ray for the life you shared to us. You definitely lived it to the fullest. Thank you for your service to our great country. It is an honor to be called as your fellow veteran. You are a soldier, a ladies man, a loving husband to Bonnie and a great brother in law. And to many you are the “uncle Rayâ€. We will missed you. But rest with Jesus and enjoy the beauty of Heaven. Army Strong! HOOAH!!!!!
