Just realized I did not post a memory to my Nephew Ray. What a great guy, so polite and always considerate:) He never failed to call me, Aunt Milli andwas always well mannored. He grew up next door on the Farm with all of his Cousins and we had lot of Family gathering and fun times. RIP Ray and I hope you and my Suzi are enjoying each otherâ??s Cousin Company:kissing_heart:
Ray was always an upbeat person. He coached my son in baseball and later my son umpired some of Ray's games. Each time I saw Ray he would compliment my son on a call he made when he called one of Ray's players out at home and then ejected the player for not sliding. That is a rarity for officials. I always enjoyed seeing him when he was at the scorer's table when I officiated and later at the Gardens. I will miss him.Roger Harting
Ray was just a great human being! Hard working, a caring dedicated teacher and coach. His legacy will be all of his students and players who will never forget his kindness in the classroom and on the field. RIP my friend. Steve Briggs
I met Ray several years ago when he started coming in for breakfast at Paulâ??s before he went to MacArthur to teach. He was a great guy and always willing to help when needed. Iâ??m gonna miss my clock changer twice a year cause he was tall enough to reach. RIP my friend. Robin

Ray was my junior varsity baseball coach at EHS. He was always tough on us, but in a very fair way. He cared deeply about the team and all of us as individuals, and would go out of his way to have conversations with each one of us, asking us how our parents were, how school was going, etc.Whenever I ran into Ray upon visiting after graduation, he would engage in conversation just like I was a student again.RIP Ray. Make sure to share those cookies with God.
I will miss so much he was a great friend.He would help anyone who needs help.I would go sometimes and see him play golf just don't laugh at him if it would go in the water he got so mad.He had so much he was going to do. Know he is with Hairy Carry of the cubs. He was a real cub fan. He got two go to the games sometimes.He gave me a cub bear from one game I love that bear.
I was sorry to read of Rayâ??s passing. He was a very nice person and a very caring teacher. He truly enjoyed teaching and his students and was always willing to give extra help when students needed it. Rest in peace, Ray.Breida Roach
Ray was always so kind to me when I was teaching with him at MacArthur High School. He helped repair my desk chair, was pleasant and accommodating, and stepped up to assist with association matters. Your kindness will always be remembered, Ray.
