Mildred & family,
Tony and I were so shocked to hear of Ray’s passing. It was so hard to except. We just though he would be better. Tony and I go back a long ways when we think of all the fun times we had with Ray. We will cherish those memories about him. We know one thing for sure, that he is with the Lord. Ray was always telling others about how to be saved. What a testimony he left behind. Again we love all of you and you are in our hearts & prayers. If we can be of any help, please let us know. Sincerely, Tony & Frances Hensley
I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to the Delp family. It was many years ago that I worked with Ray at Taylor Instrument Co in Arden.He was not only a competent engineer but was friendly and cooperative in every way. It was obvious Ray was a man of faith and his life as I experienced it reflected that faith. May God bless you in your loss.
