Ray was a very intelligent and patient man. Worked with him for many years at the Presque Isle Power Plant. Rest in peace my friend.
A phenomenal engineer and leader. I was lucky enough to cut my teeth under Ray. Ray was patient and always willing to impart his knowledge. I was lucky to have known him.
I don't have the words. Ray and Kaye have been our neighbors for about twenty years. Any time we've had trouble, i.e. electrical, drainage, child care etc, they've always been there. Its hard to imagine not having Ray stopping in for a chat anymore. He was a geniune person that we'll never forget. Kaye we are truly sorry for yours and your families loss.
