They broke the mold when he was made!

    Ray…I met you and your family many years ago. I worked with your precious Mom at Western Sizzlin when I was 18 years old and she trained me to be a waitress. I thought so much of her. That’s when I met all of y’all. I always thought of y’all as FAMILY. I will cherish all of my memories with you and your family. You will be greatly missed. My prayers are with your family.💕🙏

    I love you, Ray. You’re my twin brother. I will never say goodbye. I’ll be seeing you and momma in a while.

    Ray was a great friend and an incredible human being. We worked together at PYA Monarch in the mid to late 90’s. We fished together and were very good friends. I will miss Ray, his humor and wit were in a class by itself. Goodbye my brother, until we meet again.
