January 30, 2009 My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Ray. I met Ray over 25 years ago at Ross Auction in Colorado Springs. Ray introduced me to his shop in Pueblo and radio collecting. I enjoyed Ray's friendship over the years whether meeting him at a auction, seeing him at his daughters basketball games, hauling radios from CRC auctions to his house in
Colorado Springs, his visits to my house, or my visits to the store in Pueblo. The store was so nice to go to and visit with Ray and admire the knowledge and history there. Wow, what a loss! Rest in peace. Merril Campbell 719-596-3482 (Colorado Springs, CO)

I met Ray over 20 years ago, when I lived in Colorado Springs and found out there was a store in Pueblo that sold old radios and that Ray could fix my old sets. I always enjoyed my time in his store and his kindness. Ray is in our prayers

My deepest sympathy to Ray's family. I've known Ray for about 10 years as I am also an old radio collector. I enjoyed my visits to Ray at his store in Pueblo very much and I will miss that opportunity greatly. He seemed like such a kind and gentle person and obviously did much for the Pueblo community. He will be greatly missed.
