So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

If the world had more Ray Austins it would be a much better place. Ray was one of the nicest and kindest humans I have ever had the privilege to know. I know this time is hard for family and friends but when I think of Ray; I just smile, and I'm glad I got to know him. RIP my friend.

Ray was such a kind man and was fun to be around. I remember how we enjoyed watermelon and good times at Maumee nearly 30 years ago. He was always a gentleman when we passed by and spoke with each other in town. Even the last evening of his life he was honoring someone else. Respectable; that was Ray Austin.
