Ray is also survived by 22 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, 3 great great grandchildren, 1 brother and 2 sisters. Ray was preceded in death by his parents, 7 brothers, 8 sisters and 2 grandchildren. Ray enjoyed spending time with his family, gardening and crocheting blankets for his loved ones. Ray always made time to talk about Jehovah and had a firm belief in his faith. His favorite scripture was Malachi 3:16 " At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him and for those hearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name." It's hard to compile 84 years in a couple of paragraphs. Ray will be greatly missed by his family, who will continue to cherish his memory.
