So very sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I knew him many years ago primarily through his parents, "Dude" and Mimi who were long-time family friends of my Grandmother Shirer.

I had the pleasure of having Ray as a bank customer many years ago. He was always pleasant and one of my "favorites!" No doubt Ray will be very missed.

How can we go on without the fun of Ray? He was in our wedding many years ago and was a close friend to the end. He suffered enough but will be so missed by most of Wichita.

So sad to hear about Ray's passing. I was Ray's Dental Hygienist and i had the pleasure of knowing him for 12 years. Every time I saw him he commented on how good my hair looked! He was always so sweet to hand out compliments. He will be greatly missed! Eternal rest granted to him O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon him.
