Ray Crespin Memoriam

Ray was born October 21, 1956. His family and friends were so Blessed to have him until he left us to spend eternal life with our Heavenly Father that he loved so much on March 26, 2004. We all remember how proud he was to have served in the Marine Corp and the Air Force. Ray was a Bail Bondsman for many years in Colorado Springs; everyone he met became a friend. I spoke at Ray's funeral - I said it then and I am proud to say it again - if you knew Ray, you loved him, if you didn't love Ray, you didn't know him. Ray is missed so much by his parents he loved so much, Robert and Mary "Elaine" Crespin, his brothers Ronnie and Robert, his beloved son Raymundo, his daughter Michelle , his love and life partner Annie. Ray, there is not a day that goes by that you are not thought of. The constant smiles and fabulous memories keeps you alive with all of us that love and miss you with all of our hearts. It comforts us knowing that you are at peace with our Heavenly Father and Eternal Light shall shine upon you forever. I miss you "CUZ," your friend forever, Bobby Brown

I didn't "know" Ray as a friend and was shocked to hear of his passing - it just seems like yesterday rather than 5 years ago.

I met Ray, we hit it off pretty good in the first five minutes after meeting - later Ray hired me for magical performances at a couple of business parties.. he loved sitting around, chatting, and watching me do card tricks.

A nice guy that is missed.

Bobby, your right, if you didn't love Ray, you obviously didn't know him. So many laughs and that smile, one of my funniest memories of Ray is the baby picture he claimed to be of himself that he carried in his wallet. If you really know Ray, you will know exactly what I am talking about. The next time I was to run into Ray, it was my turn to buy cocktails, well he left this earth before that happened, I still owe you Ray, cheers to you..God Bless You, Love, Kathryn
