We sure loved Ray! He was a great neighbor. We will forever remember him in his denim overalls riding his trike down the street and his slow southern drawl. He was quick to offer help to anyone especially with small engine repair. We were blessed during our time on W. Crescent with incredible people in our lives. God Speed Ray. ❤️ – The Metoyer’s.
