“To Ray’s family, We are so sorry to hear of Ray’s passing! Larry just heard about it while covering a grave in Monmouth at noon today or we would have been there to extend our condolences to you . Ray has always had a very special place in our hearts. He has been so kind and helpful to Larry in our years of house building! He was definitely a gentleman of integrity and a master carpenter! He will be remembered with affection! Sincerely, Larry and Karen Mynatt”
