Ray was a light of happiness to so many of us. He was ornery, fresh, grouchy and an absolute joy to take care of.
He is incredibly missed by our staff and our patients. He was hard cantankerous but had a heart of gold.
We are so very sorry for your loss, and so many of us wished to say goodbye in person but we were all working the day of his service. We know he would have understood because it’s what we do.
Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
