Saddened
I am truly saddened that he has passed away at such an early age. Last time we chatted on Messenger, was about the USA against Canada hockey finals at the Olympics this past February. We poked a few jokes towards each other and laughed. Even though we were miles apart, there was something about him that I always remembered. May he rest in peace.
I am so sad to hear of Ray’s passing. I had the great pleasure of meeting Ray at Chowan College back in 1979! He was such an amazing character: full of life, energy, and charm! He was a happy magnet back in the day, and everyone loved getting together with him! He had such an electric personality, and those huge curls and transition glasses were the bomb! I think he embodied the 70’s vibe, through and through! I’m sorry we lost touch! I can honestly say that Ray is one person you’ll never forget, and so easy to love! I will miss him! Praying for his friends and loved ones, that the Lord comforts and heals you and gives you all a peace that surpasses all understanding!
Dear Friend

Cousin
Ray was truly one of a kind. Great memories of time spent in Toronto and Cleveland with him. God bless Ray, his family and all the Sperlazzas.
