Ray welcomed my husband and I into the neighborhood shortly after we arrived. The sound of his riding lawn mower in the drivway ment Ray was here to gift us with fruits from his garden. His generosity was well documented throughout the neighborhood with apples, tomatoes and other fruits of his labor. Ray was seen every sunny day in the gardens surrounding his home. Last fall he was busy starting to turn another area of the yard into another garden he and all of the neighbors would enjoy. His smile and his kindness will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathies to Lou Ann and the rest of Ray’s family.
