Brother, it’s been a year and it still feels like yesterday. I hope and pray you have found peace. You are in my thoughts often and in my heart always.

I am so sorry to hear  of Ray's passing.  I loved seeing your pictures  of how happy you were on your wedding  day. I was so happy  for you.
May you cherish  the sweet memories with Ray. 

May God give you much comfort.  My love  to you

Playing music while Ray sang was our way of entertaining the lake. He had a beautiful voice. People around the lake would text us with requests. 
His dog Pup looks for him every morning the starts crying. They watched the Red Sox together, actually they did everything together. This is a sad house without our Ray.

Ray was a great shipmate and mentor. He spent many hours on watch giving me run time to help me qualify watch supervisor. When not teaching he was always telling some great stories. Condolences to his family. He will be missed.

Sweet friend, my heart grieves with you……. so very sad you have lost your true soulmate.  Sending hugs, love and prayers🙏🙏🙏.

I will miss my big brother more than I can say. His passing leaves such a hole in all our lives that will stay with us forever. My brother was an amazing sailor and was so proud of his service to our nation and we are so proud of him. He loved  all his children so very much and I’m heartbroken for them. Fair winds and following seas…

Sally, so sorry about Ray. Glad I met him at the Ritz that evening. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ray was a good neighbor and friend. He loved where he was and was grateful. Ray always had a funny story to tell. His favorite topics were snorkeling, submarines, guns, tools, and his time in service. He was quick witted, dark humored, mischievous and he had a soft heart for Sally. 
Fair winds & following seas brother!

We’ve had the pleasure of being neighbors with Sally and Ray for the past few years. Ray’s smile was contagious - he was a wonderful neighbor and a lovely human-being. We will miss him!

Dear Sally, Our prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss. Love, Gail and David

Thinking of you Sally and the family.  Ray was such a great guy.  A highly decorated veteran that I was so proud to know.  He loved Pup and the other furry kids dearly.  Most of all, he loved you Sally.  He would always see me delivering mail and stop to say hello.  Most of the time, Pup was with him!  I know yall will miss him dearly.  
Fair winds and following seas sir.

My sincere condolences to you and Ray’s family.

Dearest Sally, I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers are with you always. Love, Belinda

I'm so sorry! He was a delight to know. RIP dearest Ray.

Ray was a wonderful, witty and hard working patriot. He will be missed by his Ace Hardware family. RIP my friend. SALUTE!

Ray was a great sailor who truly loved the sea. His eyes lit up every time he talked about his naval service. I will miss you dearly brother. Forever fair winds and following seas…home comes the sailor.
