Bea - my heart goes out to you and the family.  Ray was such a special man...it seems like only yesterday that he was taking my wedding pictures (30 yrs ago). Though he was taken way too soon, he will forever be in your heart...and watching over you.  Keep the faith and stay strong, knowing that is what Ray would want. He fell in love with your beautiful smile when you were only 15 yrs old, and he wants the world to continue to enjoy what he enjoyed all of these years. Love and prayers -

Mrs. Bea know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you both very much and are still in disbelief that Mr. Larry is no longer with us. I cannot imagine what Sunday mornings will be like without his hugs or even a Friday night football game. I know he will cheering on those Tigers from Heaven....RIP Mr. Larry

Our heart felt thoughts and prayers to  all of his family. Sue & Dan

Loving thoughts and prayers go out to the family!  Ray was not only a great cousin throughout the years, but was also a wonderful man who will be greatly missed.

I will miss my Uncle Ray so very much! He had such an impact on my life growing up & he was a true gentleman. RIP Uncle Ray, I loved you very much & you will be truly missed.

My heart goes out to the family during this most difficult time, for your deep loss. May you find comfort in prayer and gain strength knowing that God "hears your prayers - Jeremiah 29:12, 13 and that he feels your deepest pain - Zechariah 2:8

Deepest sympathy

So sorry to lose a good friend & and former neighbor. We used to joke on how he was older than myself, just 5 months. RIP fellow West Virginian.
