Add My Condolences

Ray was a man of deep faith and a kind heart. During my years as Chaplain at Tel Hai, Ray faithfully attended and participated in all of the spiritual activities on campus, offering his wisdom in Bible Study, and extending kind words to all who came. He did not miss a worship service, hymn sing, or bible study. I will miss seeing him on his walks around our campus.
