Ray was my step-grandfather, but I always thought of him as a grandfather. He bought me my first pocket knife, taught me how to ride a moped, introduced me to ice fishing and even showed me how to grow my own potatoes! He (and Mimi) took my Mother, Sister and I in as one if their own, and I'll always appreciate that.
Ray was one of the most jolly, generous and funny people I have ever met, and will ever meet. I have so many fond memories of Ray (and Mimi) and will forever cherish their kindness and generous ways.
If my grandchildren think of me with even half of the respect and love I have for Ray (and Mimi), I will be a very lucky man.
My wife and oldest son (now 8) had the pleasure of knowing Ray, and his memory will forever live on in our family.
