Ray was a friend of my family for many years. I remember my first motorcycle experience when my brother brought me to his house back in the 50's! I was about 8 or 9 when he let me sit on his Harley! The smell of leather and the look of his bike stayed with me to this day!He was a good friend and will be missed! Rest in peace my friend.

Ray was fun guy to me, weather it was loosing BP pills during Rita and finding them to catch up on, or watching that pine tree falling in middle of that cream puff "old" Lincoln, or making him leave the house because trees were falling on it. My prayers for George and the Gondron family.
