My heartfelt condolences to the family.I worked with Ray for many years @ Staley's.He became my best friend and confidant,a father figure. I was just sitting here thinking of him and his warm smile.We became very close when his son in law {Dr. Requarth} was performing surgery on my daughter's hand. I was thinking of him and did a search…..there was his picture and smile. I will forever remember and miss him. Atlanta, GA US
My prayers are with the entire Harper family.I grew up with Ed and was lucky to have known both RAY and Jean.Just by knowing and growing up around them has made me a better person. Mt.Zion, IL US
Our deepest sympathies. Springfield, IL US
