I an so sorry to hear of the passing of Ray, I did business with Ray at Fabral, VicWest and Everlast, he was tough but fair and I considered him a friend and we did play some golf together and he always beat me. I lost track of Ray after he left Everlast, he was a good man. My thoughts and prayers go out to Charlene and her family.
