Ray was a good friend to me when I first came to the Legion in Christiana . I will always remember him tradeing barbs with Ralph (Rump) Jones , the enjoyment he got out of the Honor Guard dance partys . He will be missed.

SO Sorry for your loss
I just wanted to let you know- Scott and Gale- that I was sad to hear of Rays passing. He was such a likeable guy, even when he was giving me a hard time. We had several fun trips to the mountains, where he made everyone feel welcome- always cooking a big breakfast. I'll never forget the rough night at the bar and when I was sick how he teased me the rest of the weekend. We will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. lots of love, Andrea & Robert Mayberry
Scott and Mom, You are in
Scott and Mom,
You are in our thoughts and prays. It is sad knowing that Ray has passed, but it is also a relief knowing that Ray isnt suffering anymore, and that he is in heaven. We all now have another angel looking over us.
Ray was so nice to my wife Elise when he first met her. She liked him from that very first meeting.
Now Ray with me was another thing. He would always get on me about this and that. That me and Scott couldnt shoot darts (trip 13) as good as him. That we couldnt or didnt catch fish as big as he could or did. He would always joke with us all the time. He would talk about uncle cook, saying that "I wasnt worth a s..t ", at the papermill I worked at. I know by him doing this to me, told me that he liked me. I feel privledged by that.
Raymond rest in peace and watch over us.
Albert was Raymond's uncle,
Albert was Raymond's uncle, brother to Ray's mother. We wish to express out condolences to Gale and Scott on the passing of their husband and father. Albert remembers baby sitting Raymy when he was just a baby and he recalls that Raymy was such a sweet baby and very loveable.
