The special times that we shared with Ray and Betty will always be in our hearts. We shared a lot of laughs, heartfelt moments and great dinners. Our thoughts are with Betty and the family who provided loving support and care for Ray. With his love for horses he will surely be the top "rider in the sky". With love Evelyn MacKenzie-Reid and Chuck Reid. - Posted by: Evelyn MacKenzie-Reid and Chuck Reid (friends) on: Feb 16, 2015

I was hired by Ray back in 1978 and worked for him until he retired in 1988 and cannot believe it has been that long. HE looks almost identical to the way he did back in 1988. May he R.I.P. and best wishes to his family as they deal with this loss. Take care Ray.... KEEP ON TRUCKING... - Posted by: Dianne Mandryk Spry (Former employee) on: Feb 14, 2015
