Ray was always the same from the time we met him, a kind and generous person. His personality was outstanding we enjoyed him so much. We will surely miss him. God allowed us this time with him. May he rest in peace.

We obviously all mourn his loss, but Ray packed so much into life we'd be honored to have the same said of us. I knew Ray when we worked together in the Rate Dept. at GSU, and I learned a lot from him, both about my job and people. I only knew him in that job, but the memory is vivid. He brightened up any day; always full of life, quick with a quip. He'll be one of those memory keepers for the rest of my days. Au revoir, Ray.

Loss is a fiercely personal emotion; it can only be measured individually. It will last as long as thoughts and memories linger. We loved Ray Jay, and we liked to listen to him talk, just to see what he would say. I always smiled to see him at the grill smoking sausage and boudin with a big fork in one hand and a pint in the other. Joking and laughter ensued. We have missed him these last few years, but understood the need for consistency, order, routine.
Bridget, we love you and are so saddened at your loss of Ray. You stood by him, became his ears, eyes, voice, and so much more than any of us are aware; we stand in awe of your strength, your faith, your commitment, your constancy, and your love. I know Aunt Merle helped as well. Bless both of you in this new chapter of your life. Time to rest for a while, cousin.

Cousin Ray was always my childhood hero. I can still picture him bopping around in his sock feet to The Kingston Trio and Bo Diddley in my parents' living room when he would visit us on college vacations. He dubbed my father Simon (for Simon Legree), and Mother was Mamie (for Auntie Mame). He gave me the well-deserved nickname LizzyWitch. I don’t think anyone had a quirkier sense of humor than Ray. He was definitely one of a kind.

I am so sorry for the loss of Ray. He was a wonderful, caring and fun person. Bridget your heart must be hurting so deeply but I know you cared for him in every way humanly possible and he knew you always loved him no matter what his mind may have blocked as his condition progressed. Always remember the love and special bond you shared over many years. I remember watching you both together and feeling the love in little things and looks exchanged. Know he is in a better place, loved, full of joy and free of all the cares of this world. Love you Bridge and wish I could be there to support you in this time of need. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you. Lori Alexander

A true gentleman with a loving and brave wife. I love that Jeff and Ray made a connection through AJ. It makes me smile, as does the glorious homecoming Ray certainly received and is now enjoying.

Bridget: not making folks know what Lammie's friendship meant to me. A really true friend. I recall how he stressed over getting a ring for you. It had to be the best. And when he did get it, he was worried about whether you would like it. What a guy. I will truly miss him. Love you.

Bridget, I am so sorry for your loss of Ray and at the same time so proud and happy that you had the WONDERFUL 28.5 years together. You were a blessing to him and especially in the last few years you were so supportive. I am glad that I had the opportunity to know the person behind that smile. Ray just always had that chuckle that gave people joy to be around him. You are in my prayers.

My heart hurts. I’m saddened by your loss, as it’s it truly our loss, too. I can also find great comfort in knowing that my life was so greatly impacted by sharing a wonderful friendship with Ray. He had such a positive impact on my early professional career and as a young adult. I have carried those lessons with me ever since. He was truly special and I’m grateful to have known and loved him.

Rest in peace our dear friend. May the perpetual light shine on you. Bridget, we loved Ray and everything about him. We will remember all the hunting trips and visits we had with both of you with a grand smile on our faces. What a wonderful life he had especially the love that glowed between you two. Know our hearts are broken but not our faith in knowing he is in heaven with his Lord. Love always, John and Beverly
