      Chris and family,
      I just found out about Ray and my heart sank. I have so many good memories of when he worked at the restaurant in Clyde and when I would go to their house. Chris you and I were in JA together, not sure if you remember me. But my heart is breaking for the loss of a great man. He could put an arm around you and calm your tears or make you laugh until you cried. Either way he was one of the kindest and most sensitive genuine men I have ever met in my life. My Love and prayers for the boys and the family during this time.

    My deepest condolences to your family and everyone who knew and loved Mr. Havens. Thankfully, we can all look forward to the day John 5:25 will come true for all the ones we have loved and lost. May it comfort you to know that the bible tells us at 1 Peter 5:7 to “throw all of your anxieties on God because he cares for you”.

    Love you Ray. You will be missed. Never once in my life do I recall you ever putting yourself before us kids. You always made it a priority to include us with all that you did. That is an amazing quality in a great man that the world has lost. The only good thing is I know Rob is there waiting for you with open arms. God Bless You and rest in peace my friend.
