To us he was special and he was loved so much. Ray grew up in Winslow, AZ; he graduated high school in 1996. He was known for his curious mind, his computer/business skills, and for his love of the outdoors. Ray was a shining star and touched many hearts and souls because of a caring and compassionate personality and was a loyal friend to those closest to him.

I wish I would have a chance to get to know this guy a little more than "Mikey says I'm not supposed to talk to him." And then having him smell "not so fresh" the one time I did meet him.
Sorry, but he had obviously been doing work the day he came to that softball game.
He was funny dude that day, though. That is a fact.
Ray was a good man, but so very troubled. In the short short time that I knew him I saw both sides. One, a thoughtful worldly person and the other, a personality deeply scarred by substance abuse. I wish, for LL and his childrens' sake, that he would have accepted the help he needed sooner.
hahaha, yeah he was smelly sometimes, mostly it was the alcohol sweating from his system...lets not forget that he was,in fact, an alcoholic in the worst possible, not functioning way. i have to believe, for my own selfish mental health that he was on the road to recovery. we were going to be great, he and i. i miss him everyday.
You don't have to believe for your health, you have to believe because it was true. A person doesn't go to rehab voluntarily unless they really want to change. Whether they do, whether they're able, is a whole other story, but voluntary enrollment in a program like that is proof positive that he wanted to change, no matter how capable of that he may or may not have been, he wanted it. And his actions speak volumes to that affect.
