I am deeply saddened by Ray's
passing and your loss. We here on Maui are stunned. Ray was a friend to many of us here and a mate. I personally will miss him. He was a unique man who stayed true to his soul in a time when it was difficult to maintain that idividuality. I will remember him best not as a UXO guy or QC partner, but as a family man who was always courteous and a wonderful host. His colorful and roguish Scouse way was welcoming and the many gatherings at your house in Kihei were full of soul, laughter and respect. Sure there were many many times when his Liverpool accented singing would break up a serious office environment. Ray could get everyone to laugh hysterically with colorful stories complete with perfect accents to go with the range of characters he brought to life. It was refreshing and truely unique to see hard edged UXO techs sit near Ray and listen to his stories like a bunch of kids hanging onto every word of their favorite uncles stories of adventure. But truely, his presence as a host, and genuine desire that any guests to his home felt welcome ring deeply to me about his true character. That's what I'll remember. I can only imagine how difficult this time is for you and pray your family will be comforting and comforted during this trying time. with love and sympathy, John Spasari June 8, 2004 Maui, Hawaii |
