I found out about Ray’s passing only today, January 2, 2026. He was a friend and a really nice man, a good engineer and surveyor, funny and smart. Just a good guy. He was always good to me. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Coach-thanks for being the Top Banana for our Babe Ruth team. You had an indelible impact on my life. I regret I did not reach out in the years since I played for you. All these best to your family.
