So sad to hear this, and we just found out, or we would have absolutly been there. so many memories. We were both in your wedding, & Mike destoryed his suit so bad, can't believe he turned it in with no fines. All the nights playing poker & the murder mystery game we played at your place. mostly I remember the day I got teeth pulled, we just got home and you pulled in behind us, I almost fell out of the truck, you had no idea what was going on but you stayed!!! Put me to bed & hung out with Greg. Love you man!!! You were always one of our favorite people.

I am very heart broken to hear about my Ray. I will never forget the days of growing up together. We loved swimming in our ponds, mushroom hunting, riding horses and so much more. We use to love working at the drive in theater. I loved him so very much. He was like the brother I never had. Our families were so very close and still are. We all love and are thinking of you all at this time. I am so very sorry for this loss. Just know he is up there fishing with Nile. Love you Ray!!!
