My sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Ray in the USDA Salamanca office from 1991 until he retired. He was the nicest man and a pleasure to work with. Had lots of fun times with him and the crew in Salamanca. I’m sure Runge and Mazerbo are joining you up there and continuing with their pranks. You will be missed Ray!
