I only ever met Ray once in my whole life and it was at his home where we enjoyed a great supper. I thought so many times over the years of the stories he told of working for the Richardson Ranch. Seems like he lived a very interesting life. My own father has passed on as well, so I understand the empty feeling the family would feel. My wife and I offer our deepest condolences on his passing. May God give you strength in the days ahead. Dwight Cook - Posted by: Dwight Cook (Fellow Hereford Breeder) on: Sep 26, 2014
