Shannon and the kids, so sorry to hear the passing of Ray. He was always very good to our family. We are praying for all you as you journey in life. I have found memories of Ray as I helped him many years ago run his mountain line for his CB Radio.

My favorite memory of Raymond was when he took me with his family to camp in Pocahontas County. He made sure we had fun from the time the truck left his house until we arrived back home home. His door was always open and he was ready to help someone in need. He will be missed. Jennifer D.

Shannon, this is Greg Oliver, Ray’s first cousin, Debbie’s brother. I am so saddened to hear of Raymond’s passing. I have so many fond memories of the times I was able to spend with him when we were kids. Although life separated us as we grew up, took jobs and raised our families, I’ve never forgotten the precious time we had in those early days and thought about him many times thru the years. I will miss him and continue treasure those memories.
