    Ray helped me daily when I was a pup at IBM. His humor under duress helped all around him in those starched-shirt days at IBM. God bless your soul Ray and my thoughts are with those that loved and have lost him.

    Dear Janie and family, I will always remember Ray from our IBM days together. What a wonderful and special man. Not only was Ray a great salesperson and team mate, he brought so much joy to everyone. Thinking of you all and hoping you will celebrate what an amazing man Ray has been to everyone.

    Jane, my husband, Tony (Chief) Nacrelli worked with Ray for a while at IBM and he always had funny stories to tell about their times together. Once when on one of their business trips, after leaving the bar after dinner, they bought a name brand watch and a ring from a purveyor in the parking lot thinking they had gotten authentic jewelry. Next morning at breakfast it was discovered that it wasn’t an “Omega”, it was an “Onega”. I think that watch changed hands a number of time, gifted from one of them to the other. We laughed about that for years! I don’t want to minimize your loss, but had to share that. Chief died in June of this year, so I know your grief at losing your beloved husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
