Gordon R. Menzies - June 9, 2026

Todd and Family, Very sorry to learn of your loss. Ray was certainly a character back in the day and I think my favorite memory of him was his casual acceptance of approximately 300 pink flamingos showing up on his front lawn one evening, only to have them disappear again three days later back in the 1980s. He seemed amused and bemused by it at the same time. Good times. I know it will be light memories like this that will carry you through your collective time of grief, in which I will share, fulsomely, knowing the pain you all must feel. Again, my sincerest condolences to you and your family, my Friend. Thinking of you.

Bill and Debbie Cole - June 9, 2026

Diane Cane - June 9, 2026

My sincere condolences to Ray’s family - he was such a great guy.
