I just learned of this tragic death a few minutes ago. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family.
I never had the privilege of meeting Ray face to face, but I did correspond with him via PM a couple of times. It was more than obvious from his messages to me that this was a man with integrity, and a man who cared very much for the citizens, especially the children of this county. He seemed to have a heart as big as all outdoors.
One of the things I will remember about him is his statements of faith to me personally. He was completely unapologetically open about his committment
