Uncle Ray was larger than life! It was impossible to be in his presence & not know he was there. Always laughing & sharing a good time with family & friends, he was full of love & kindness. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of Ray, my father, & others all of us fishing or golfing together. May he rest in peace.
With love,
Joe

My sympathy to Ramon’s family whom I have never met. Ramon was a fixture at the Phoenix College Fitness Center for many years. He had a keen sense of humor and shared it with staff and his “fitness family”. He loved to tell stories of growing up in Clarkdale , traveling to Sedona to eat from the various orchards. He will truly be missed. Thanks for your service to our countryRamon.

Ray was by far the best grandfather I could ever ask for. I have learned almost everything I know from him. He always showed positivity to whoever he was around. He was by far the most generous person I knew. He was always there for people when they needed rides, food, or just help in general. I’ve always enjoyed all the times we talked. He always wanted to know how I was doing every second of the day. He cared deeply for everyone he knew. I am going to miss playing golf with him and eating at Mi Patio. Ray will always have a special place in my heart.
