A very well fitting tribute to a extraordinary great FGT friend. Thank you Chip.

My sincere condolences to family and friends! Ray will, just like our other great FGT friend Bony, never be forgotten.

I never met him nor Bony, but I felt a collective sadness when each passed. Each man was a giant in the FGT community. Prayers for Ray's wife and his boys.

Terrible Tragedy. In the few times I met Ray, I was inspired by his zest for life, and his can do attitude. He will be greatly missed.
