Sonia Dotson wrote a sympathy message

“Ray was a remarkable man and has definitely left his mark on my life. I have always looked up to Ray and Hettie for the way they genuinely lived out and shared their walk with God. They were our youth leaders when we were young teens, and they were, by far, our favorites. Ray made a lasting impact on so many young people, far beyond his own wonderful family. We feel truly blessed to have known him and to have been influenced by his example. Tom & Sonia Dotson”
