My dear Uncle Wray, I love you so much and will miss you. Thank you so much for being a part of my life and being a great part of my son's life. Casey will always remember his Great Uncle Wray. You brought Grandma here when he was born and you came again 18 yrs later when he graduated from High School. I will never ever forget that, nor will he. You watch down on us ok.

Hey Brother. Shelbyville just lost the best Santa Clause they ever had, and I just lost a sweet big brother. I know you are at peace and with Mary, the love of your life, once again. Just know I love you. I will see you again, Your Sister, Phyllis

We extend our sympathies to your family with the lose of Wray. We knew him and Mary through the camping group and enjoyed them both for many years. Wray was quite a guy and we enjoyed his humor. He will be missed but we have some great memories of him!
