Libby I was sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Roy had this beautiful way of holding space for my wild stories, meeting them with humour and kindness. I’ll never forget when he called me a fellow jongleur—being welcomed into his world of wonder. His presence, his storytelling, and his heart will be deeply missed and always remembered.
Libby
You are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Dear Libby, How sad to learn your dear Ray has passed away. He fought a noble battle and he will be missed. The pool wasn’t the same without him. Judy Lyon and I spent a lovely lunch hour with you and Ray at your home. Hugs, Myrna Billsten
Ray’s “pool friends” send their heartfelt condolences to you and your family. We have missed his smiling face and sometimes rather corny jokes but will remember the Ray of Sunshine he brought to his buds each time he was there.
Libby, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Libby. I understand what you are going through. My heart hurts for you. Sending you much love.
