We were so sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I remember Ray from the time I was a little girl. He always loved to have fun and family was very important to him. I don't think he missed many Russell Reunions if any. I will miss his big bear hugs and his commitment to the Russell family. We will not be able to attend his funeral service, but our hearts will be with you and you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Donita and Bruce
My heartfelt condolences to all of Ray's HUGE family! Ray was a fun person to be around....full of laughter and mischief! I know he will be missed by everyone. May God Bless each of you with His strength and peace during this very difficult time.
So sorry to hear about Ray. He was a great man. The boys loves seeing him and teasing him. He teased them back. We will really miss him. God bless him and his family. May he rest in peace
When my father was killed in an oil field accident in 1967 Ray came to his burial in Healy, Kansas and made a point of talking to me telling me how he felt my father was such a good man and how sorry he was. I have always remembered his kindness at that time. I am sorry for your loss.
RIP cousin I will never forget you saying you mess with the bill you get the horn and would jab you on the ribs lol I have all them great memories visiting you all in Kansas and when you all came to California to visit love and miss you.
I will always remember Ray like a 2nd father, my sisters and I grew up with his kids and I considered us very close. I had lost touch with all of them over the years, however, the entire family, especially Nana, Matt, and Doug are in my thoughts and prayers. You all have my deepest sympathies.
