"I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE KNOWN RAY AS HE WAS A FRIEND OF MY BROTHER MIKE . THEY ARE PROBABLY TOGETHER PULLING MORE PRANKS . HARMLESS PRANKS THAT WOULD MAKE A PERSON LAUGH UNTIL THEY CRIED. ALWAYS KIND AND THOUGHTFUL OF OTHERS , RAY WILL BE MISSED BY ALL OF US. MAY GOD BE WITH EVERYONE IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW."

"Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Ray hung out with my little brother, Mike J, so Mike's sister and I got to know him. Those guys had many hours of prank playing and fun at our expense, but then we did too. Now Ray and Mike are now up there planning more fun. My heart goes out to his wife, children and stepchildren as they go through this heartwretching time. Rest In Peace Ray and Godspeed. Nancy Furstenau-Boyles"
