Donna D. Convicer wrote a sympathy message

“Ray was one of a kind. My mother was in a wheelchair at a young age and she was often very down. She always looked forward to going to Shop Rite as Ray would help her and take time to talk with her. He was amazingly kind and giving. He was a wonderful classmate at NFA. Rest in peace, Ray. My deepest sympathy to the family.”
