Hello family of Ray Rattray. I am so sad to see that he has passed on. He was my Bug man and my Mom and I really liked him and his kind nature. I have some photos for you.... Please give me an email address I can send them to. (he came over to get the termites when I cut down my front yard tree) I want you to have them. Or I can mail them to you if you like. God Bless you all.... He was a very kind man. Linda Guillory

My sweet sweet RR - I will miss you so much at BCPC. I just can not believe this is real. I have worked with you for the last 13 years and your time card has always been directly under mine. I see your name daily and think of your big teethy smile that I love to see. Prayers for your young son and for your family and for your Bugspert Family you have worked with for SO LONG. My heart is broken and I will miss you so much here on earth. See you up above one day!!!
