We met at seminary but quickly became intertwined in ministry in South Jersey for our youth groups.
Ray and I also shared the loving and joy-filled experience of having a child who lived with challenges. It seemed that Matthew was always with Ray, which truly showcased the loving heart that Ray had.
Ray’s laugh could shake a church hall making everyone around him smile. His faith could inspire those who were wondering about God and his caring heart demonstrated that his call to ministry was truly from God.
I was saddened to hear of his passing. In recent years we only spotted each other at Annual Conferences or other church meetings but I will always remember connecting with Ray back at Wesley!
You served God by caring for God’s people …. You did it well!
