We will always remember Ray as a wonderful neighbor, proud father, and dutiful, loving husband. Our whole family misses his stories and spending time talking in between outdoor chores. His outdoor Christmas displays were always a highlight. He will always be remembered as a kind man.
Ray was a thoughtful and intelligent friend from when we first met at St. Louis U. Although a serious thinker, he was very quick to laugh–two great qualities in a roommate (which we were in the later 60s). It was his subscription to the Time-Life “Foods of the World” book series which helped both of us develop a new appreciation for “good food.”
He had a keen interest in other countries and cultures. Ray traveled to Europe and Asia and, in 1984, to Peru’s Machu Picchu, a trip I was fortunate to share with him.
Ray had a full life and will be missed by all of us who knew him. He was a devoted husband and proud father, and we send our deepest condolences to Diane and Tori.
