My father and Ray were first cousins yet they only recently met. In fact I met Ray before my father did through Rays work on the Jacob family history. We met at The Hawthorne’s for the first time when Watford came to visit and Ray and Eileen invited me, my so and brother to their house. Ray was so friendly and generous and the few times that I met Ray since, he was the same. Ray was authentic, friendly, kind and generous and I will miss the football and family related chats that we had. My thoughts go to Eileen and Kurt
