Brenda and family;

I worked with Ray for a number of years during my career at VBSHO. I looked up to Ray, as he was a mentor to me, and I considered him as my “work dad”. I’m saddened and sorry for your loss. Just know that Ray touched many lives, and he will be dearly missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I often find this passage to be comforting for a time such as this;

A reading from the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

“There is an appointed time for everything,
and a time for everything under the heavens.
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to tear down, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;
a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.”

Uncle Ray will be missed and always remembered. All the hunting memories and all the taxidermy he did for me. All the stories he and my dad shared, crazy times growing up will never get old. I always wanted to thank him for being willing to help me learn taxidermy which I will try my best to someday be as good as him. With all the hunters in this family we need a taxidermist thats for sure. We love you all aunt Brenda, we will make a point to spend more time like I wish we would have before.
