Dearest Carol, I received the news yesterday regarding Ray's passing. My heart was so said to hear the news. This earth has lost a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather, Christian, patriot, and public servant. I searched the internet trying to find info regarding the viewing and funeral. Much to my regrets I was unable to attend, but I was with you in spirit. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. One day you will be reunited in heaven, but until that day there is a purpose yet for you to fulfill. You are dearly loved my sister! Feel free to contact me if there is anything I can do for you. In Christ, Pastor Craig Lauterbach

Having had the opportunity to work with Ray for many years and to have had the opportunity to keep in touch via email for the last nine years it saddens me to hear that he has left us. There is only one thing that can describe Ray. He was a "great and caring" person and a great friend. I will miss him. May the Peace of the Lord be with all his family during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.

Hi Ray, You are an inspiration to me. Your kindness, your sincerity, your compassion towards human of all races, and your unconditional giving to the community are qualities that has impressed and passed on to me. I am empowered by your honorable example. Thank you. Your Chinese friend, Teng Teng 陳清婷

Dear Pauline, Deb and Tim, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this tough time. Take care. Love Brad, Linda and Nicholas

My family has cherished the friendship it has held with the Kershaw family for over 30 years.

We have many wonderful memories of Ray from having worked with him at MAST and HTHS and also from the fishing trips. Ray was a generous and kind friend to so many people. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kershaw family at this difficult time. Pete and Karen Murdoch

Dear Carol & Family: We were so sorry to hear that Ray has left this earthly life to be with his Father in Heaven. We always remember his friendly face from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. We know you will miss him but also know that your reunion with Ray in Heaven is a promise our Loving Lord promised to us all. May God Bless you all during this time of mourning and give you strength to go on without him. Love Roger & Louise Jensen (former members of Good Shepherd)

Dear Carol, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Ray as a "knight" in the "To the Castle" musical, trying to inspire others to be as generous as he was. I pray you find future happiness, and enjoy happy memories of him and your life together. God bless! Grayce Armstrong

I am saddened to hear of your loss. Mr. Kershaw was my teacher at MAST. He later became my “boss” at Freehold Twp. My husband and I were very blessed to have him perform our wedding ceremony. I will miss his kindness.

Dear Carolyn and family, I am so sorry to hear about Ray. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
