Ray was a wonderful neighbor of ours for the last 5 years. I had a lot of long talks with Ray about nature, gardens, and how things were in the old days. Ray had an amazing talent working with wood as shown by the intricately woven trivet he made us out of discarded tree branches from 3 types of trees on our property. Our condolences go out to the Cotton family for the loss of a wonderful man with many gifts. We will remember him fondly, Reece Cowan & Jennifer Brasier
