Fran, My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your beloved husband, Ray. He was such a kind gentleman. I hope the support of family and friends are a source of comfort to you.

Dear Fran and Family, It was with much sorrow that I discovered Ray's Obituary recently. I did not know Ray but I heard a lot about him through 'the gals' on the Fifth Floor of the Nurse's Residence at the Holy Cross Hospital. Remember those days? Reading the obituary brought back many feelings of nostalgia. You and Ray were a wonderful couple. My husband Bill and I shared the same experiences as you did in those days. We were married for 56 years when he passed away in November of 2020. You and Ray shared a truly wonderful life full of adventure, fun and love. My deepest condolences to you and your children. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Remember-- "As long as we remember a person they are not really gone. Their thoughts, their feelings, their memories, they become part of us". May God Bless you and your family Fran, and take care. From

Connie (Rejman) Fowle and family

Our sincere condolences Fran and family for the loss of Ray. We wish we were able to attend his memorial but we send you our love.

Fran,

So many happy memories shared with you and Ray on Broadview Road. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Larraine Romanchuk ( Laren)

My sincere condolences in the loss of your husband and Dad. I remember Uncle Ray as I called him growing up (even though he was not a blood relative). So many memories growing up seeing your Dad at his parents house. He was always smiling, full of life and making sure all us kids had a ton of fun. Also seeing him when he brought you, Al and Kathleen over to Grandma and Grandpa Howell's house, so we could all play together. Sending you all lots of love and prayers at this time.

My deepest sympathies to you Al, and your Mum and Kathleen. My family and I are thinking of you at this difficult time. Sending light and love.

Ray and I worked together at Kerr McGee many years ago and he was the best boss I ever had. Not only was he a great mentor, he was a friend. Although we lost touch I think of him often and tell many stories about our days working together. He cared so much about me and my young family. I will never forget him.

Dear Al,

It's been a long time but I remember your Dad's kindness, smile, and baritone voice! Please accept and pass on my condolences to your Mom and Kathleen.

Fran, my sympathies to you and your family. Take care. Karen ray

My deepest sympathies to Fran, Kathleen and Albert and all the extended family of our great friend Ray. A proud resident

of Grand Valley, he was a steady and loveable guy that I always liked to spend time with. He had great qualities, and capable abilities as well as a strong work ethic that he put to good use on his place and also for the Larson Girls on their ranch up the Valley. I know they were so grateful for his help—like so many others were. In my mind I still see him and Fran as they made their way around the dance floor up at the Dartigue Hall—having a ball! He lived a great life—Here's to you Ray!

Sincerely, George, Monica, Anna May and Ruby Fox
