Dear family. My sincere condolences on the passing of Ray. He always made sure to put a smile on my face with that quick wit of his. Ray would get a kick when I did not have a comeback and say, "find me when you've thought about it". He will be truly missed by all of us at Empire. Lori Brown

So sorry to hear of Ray,s passing. I worked with at Mathew’s Conveyor. He was one of the good guys.May he rest in peace.
So sorry to hear of ray's passing I worked with him at Matthew's conveyor back in the 80s
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.
So saddened by the loss of cousin Ramon. I know how happy uncle Charlie was to gain the LaFontaine family as his . I also remember Gramma and Grampa Beedham minding Todd when he was a little guy. Rest well.
My sincere condolences to Ray’s family - he was such a great guy.
