I worked with Ray at the Newportville Inn and we became friends. He always had a smile and a joke . No matter his problems , he always found a funny side to things . He loved his kids and even the toughest times he loved his exwife . Ray was a great guy. And his kids should be proud to have him as a father. You will be missed my friend . Rest in peace, you deserve it!!!

Ray was one of my best friends in high school. Photo of Ray with me, Denny and Kim in 1982 at my going away party.
We traveled together during our senior class trip, and Ray at graduation in 1976. Ray would always hang out when I returned to Bensalem for a visit. He will be missed.

Your parents were great people and I’m sorry for another loss for your family. Your dad will always be in my memories for being an avid Eagles fan and also introducing my brother Matt and I to the world of wrestling, especially Rick Flair.

Ray was my H.S. tennis partner and I also worked at a meat processing company and the Steel Mill with him. He was always fun to be around and every time I saw him we would have a good laugh. I will miss you my old friend.

I forgot to say what a sports fanatic Ray was. He was a season holder of 4 Eagle's tickets and loved them, win or lose. He loved Wildwood New Jersey. He spent every 1st week of June and September there with his brother Kevin and sister-in-law Peggy. His kids would be there, when possible, as well. Rest easy Ray, love & miss you! 💝
