Although I did not work directly with Ray, I knew him for several years. He was always good for a kind word. He had a great sense of humor.

I am sorry to hear about Ray's death, I worked with him many years at AMETEK, he was a good friend and very knowledgable in his work. May God Bless the family during this time.

Although I did not work directly with Ray at AMETEK, Inc. in Oak Ridge, TN I did see Ray often at work during break time and joked with him.  He nearly always had a sparkle in his eye. Ray was a kind man.
