My brother, I tried to help you but failed, tried to comfort our mother and tried to become the brother you have been to all and failed. But let me make this promise to you and that is I will not give up. That is one thing you taught me and that is failure makes us stronger. You are the greatest brother a person could have and we all love and miss you. Til we meet again and I know you will always be by our side.

My dearest brother, I have enjoyed the years we have spent together. You have left me with memories that I will carry that will keep me going. You are not only my brother but my strength and my rock. Words cannot express all that you meant to me. Your heart was always open to help others in need, and I hope that I have learned to be half the person that you were. I love you, and I will always miss. Until we meet again I'll hold you in my heart until I can hold you in my arms.

We lost a wonderful friend, a really great guy! He was very generous with his time and knowledge when we needed to purchase a computer or when we had computer problems. During the late 1970's and all during the '80's, we seldom went to Savannah without going by Software South to see Ray.
