To Ray’s family. Our prayers are with you. We will all miss his smiling face and his pleasant attitude at the bowling alley on Thursday nights. He would always smile even if he wasn’t bowling very good. God Bless! Ron Maurer, President of the Commercial League at the Dutch Bowl

To Ray’s Family. I am so sorry for his passing. He and Pat were both wonderful people. My family will miss him greatly. We enjoyed going on college bowling tournament trips and his company is already leaving us with a heavy heart. I wish I could have done more for him .
