"A NATURAL LEADER"-  Ray was our father figure. He was 25, I was 18. Many an American boy cried that night in Vietnam. America lost a great man and an able warrior. Those of us who knew him will forever cherish the honor of having served by his side.

"I MISS YOU RAY!" - I remember Ray Gee from our time together in NCO School. Ray was a great guy and we immediately became close friends. I came back stateside shortly before Ray did, and didn't learn of his death until I tried to contact him at Mt. Pulaski, IL. His family informed me of his death...what a tragedy. I miss you Ray!

 I served with Ray in the 4th MP Company in 1968. He was a close friend and a great person. I am sure that everyone he served with still misses him.
