We were so saddened to hear of the loss of our dear friend Ray. He was a devoted husband and a cherished member of the Hickory House family. We will miss your smiling face. We will certainly never forget the sight of you husking 300 ears of corn in the courtyard!!! He was always willing to help in any way needed. You will be deeply missed.

So sorry for your loss Lynn, Diane and family. Ray will forever hold a special place in my heart. I am grateful for the many childhood memories I have of both Ray and Janet. While it’s incredibly difficult, wrap your arms around the cherished moments spent. We are all blessed to have parents who loved us unconditionally. Take away the blessing that he knew he was loved and you did your best. He was loved and that provides comfort. I love you both, he loved you dearly. ??
