Ray was a wonderful muscian and kind man. He helped teach me guitar coming to Ignacio once a month for two years. At that point I found out he was from Cahone and knew my family and I knew his! We really had a laugh about that. Im very grateful to have known him.

Ray was always quick to tell a joke, and always had treats for his many four legged friends across town. He will be missed.
