Cousin Ray will be sorely missed. My favorite memories of him are his big, loud laugh and his stories. He could tell a story better than Mark Twain and was funnier than Jerry Clower. No one did it better! The visits when he was living in Aunt Rena and Uncle Ira's house were the absolute BEST. He reveled in being the host and he LOVED his Family..Thank you for the memories!
