Condolences

  1. Gary and family,

    Steve and I were so sad to hear of Ray’s passing. In the few short years we knew him, Ray became very dear to our hearts. He was a wealth of information about the area, our property and farming in general. And don’t even get us started on the music…. I think I will forever turn the corner and honk and wave to him.

    Sorry we will be unable to attend the services as we are out of the country, but our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Cathy and Steve Locke

  2. So sorry to hear that Ray passed away. I knew him when we worked at Texas A&M University. He was a great person to know and be around. I hope you can find comfort in knowing he is in a better place. May God bless your family.
