His love was unconditional, and he was accepting of everybody. He truly had a servant’s heart. Ray also had a passion for the oilfield, and there wasn’t a thing he couldn’t fix, but he could break stuff. He knew all the backroads and the town secrets, but no worries he took them with him. He always had the most optimistic outlook on life. No matter how gloomy times were he never complained and kept his witty sense of humor.
