Condolence: Debbie and family, I worked with Ray for 10 years at UMB. He was always a good friend and someone I could count on to make me smile and remind me to not take life so seriously. I will always remember stopping by the house for some home-made wine. Ray will be sorely missed. God bless, Mike Krone

Be well and my prayers are with all of you.

Condolence: Debbie, Dawn and Brad - My deepest sympathy to your family. Ray is one of the most generous, loyal and loving man I've have even known. I will miss his laugh, sharing a beer with him and many laughs. He will always be in our hearts, that is certain.

Condolence: Ray and Deb were ever so gracious to allow us to have the DEAL on their property from 2002 to 2009. Ray had a great sense of humor, loved dogs and the outdoors. There are hundreds of folks who got to experience the outdoors and fellowship from Ray's hospitality. Our profound sympathy is offered to the family and his many friends. Peace be with you sir.
