 When I started here many years ago, about 22, I came in and Ray was one of the first ones to come up and kind of show me the ropes. He was really a mentor to me. You know, I went from dispatch over to police and then eventually I went back to dispatch. Ray was always there if I had those stupid questions. He was the first one to answer them. Well when I came in, you know, he was there in his end of his career. He's more of a mentor for us to get us on the right path in our policing field and learning how to do investigation stuff. He was a detective here at the time. So he helped our group that came in around 99, you know, a tremendous amount getting our case reports done, helping just just a coach and a mentor, you know, is what he was for us. His biggest impact was, you know, investigative skills, his people relations with people in the town. You know, in force being an elder, an older officer here, working with the newer guys that came in, he was just a great mentor, you know, for this department. And it was always a good asset to this department. You know, with Ray's passing, the community's really going to be impacted. Ray was one of these people. He was just able to come up and talk to you about anything. He was a very good father, a very good coworker. He was an awesome friend, a wonderful husband. He was just one of those guys that you wanted to be around. He was a good time, so the community has definitely suffered a loss here.
