So sorry for the loss of Ray. My condolences to Geraldine and family. Thank you Ray for your our nice conversations when I stopped by the bookstore you worked at in Chelmsford and our multiple dinner get togethers at the Ground Round. You were fun to work with as well. Rest easy. I’ll miss you buddy.

For many years, Ray, Larry and I could be found at Mallory’s pub in Bryn Mawr, PA. This went on during college and well after college.
To say Ray will be missed does not even cover it.
I was never a guy for the bar-life. But those nights were among my favorites, both then and now.
