I only knew Ray for such a short time... He had just left the Coastguard and was working for his brother Lance while he was waiting to go with the FBI in Buffalo NY. The trait I remember so vividly about Ray, was his dry sense of humor..he could say something with so few words that would just crack you up. Life goes fast, I still remember him as young and handsome and so full of life.. I shall never forget you RIP Ray

I had the great honor of working with Ray over the years at the FBI. Ray had a way of convincing people that HE was the hardest working ET in the field and we all went along for the ride. I very much enjoyed the time that we worked together supporting some major events, he worked hard and when time allowed he played hard. Great guy to have on your team. God bless his family and we will miss him. Rest In Peace Ray. I know you will have the cooler iced down and ready to great us when we arrive.
