Hello all, I am Renée, “Papa Ray’s” daughter.

Papa Ray worked full time right up until he was diagnosed with Lung and Brain Cancer at 83 years old. He worked his entire life and did not have the opportunity to enjoy retirement. Unfortunately, he did not have any life insurance nor any assets. At this time our family is struggling financially due to all of the time missed from work for his care, and extra medical expenses that were incurred.

My Mom has also been quite ill for the last 6-7 months as well.

We would like to give Papa Ray the best. That’s what he deserves.

So at this time any donations would be appreciated to be put towards funeral home costs and his celebration of life. As well as a donation to The Bethell Hospice that took such amazing care of him for his final 10 days of life.

Thank you on behalf of our entire family and Papa Ray - The sweetest, most outgoing man that made friends every where he went with his infectious smile.
