This is a book of memories of Ray from friends and relatives, gathered in an effort to leave a collection of essays, stories, and anecdotes, which would illustrate some of the principles he lived by. In putting this collection of essays together, we learned more about him than we knew and we realized that these stories would make for an inspiring book. It is our hope that his legacy will live on through this book and that you can take some of his guiding principles and incorporate them into your lives.
