Uncle Ray was so thoughtful and always gave me a listening ear when I needed his advice. As kind of a rebel growing up, Uncle Ray and Aunt Maureen seem to always be so helpful to me when I was on the "outs" with my Parents. I truly miss them both and always will. My very best to all the Norris Family. Sincerely, Jack Hanrahan Kansas City

I have many fond memories of Uncle Ray, the most recent was working with him and his wife Maureen to take care of a transfer of duties for our family owned camp on Sacandaga lake as they were getting up in age and needed someone to help them, not to mention the many summers at the lake enjoying the beach and the annual clambakes at the end of the summer, as a kid uncle Ray was always warm and welcoming and would listen and advise as he saw fit. Uncle Ray was a pleasure to be with, I will miss him dearly.
