Kent Stahle wrote a sympathy message

“It's with a heavy heart that while I write this message, Ray was not only a great neighbor but a great friend as well. I was with Ray shortly after he passed away on his front porch where we shared many a story about our time in Los Angeles since we both lived there in the past. Ray was a man of many wonderful and highly respected careers throughout his adventurous life. He will be missed by those who were fortunate enough to know him. Rest in peace Ray and I'll see you in the next life.”

Billy Bailey wrote a sympathy message

“I don’t know Raymond but I remember his wife, Hope. I am very sorry to hear about your husband passing, Hope. I don’t know if you remember me but I am a good friend of William “Bill Baker.” Bill moved to Jacksonville, Florida to live with a brother following another brother’s passing. If you know how I might reach him, please call me at 828-280-6089. Again, I am very sorry for your loss. I seem to remember that Bill paid your way to dental school. Yours truly, Bill Bailey”
