To my dear friend Lea, and all your family, I treasure fond memories of your father, his smile, and his kindness to me. The Ray family home was always a friendly and welcoming place to visit.

My sincere condolence Mrs. Ray for your loss. The memory I cherish was as a student at Vincent Massey and you and Mr. Ray introducing foreign travel to many of us. As our guardians on the trip, you both made it fun, educational and allowed us to interact with the locals which developed into lifelong friendships. Thank you both for the experience. I hope all the heartfelt memories that are being shared makes it a little easier for you at this time. Jo-Ann (Rezler) Schaffer

My condolences to Joyce, Lea, Stacey and all members of the family. Mike and I worked closely together for over ten years at Legal Assistance of Windsor. He was a tremendous mentor and colleague. Mike taught me how to address people and issues in a respectful, supportive and effective manner. His concern was always that we achieved the best outcome for our clients and the community we served. I will always be indebted to Mike for giving me, as a young lawyer, the benefit of the doubt and allowing me the freedom to develop professionally. The community has lost a true leader but his contributions to its betterment will remain. Rest in Peace Mike. Mike Watters

Mike Ray was a committed and tireless advocate. Throughout his career he was never afraid to say what he thought and do what was best. He championed clinic law practice and created opportunities for law and social work students to give back to the community while learning essential skills. His tenacity and commitment to this community never waivered. My deepest sympathy to his family. He will be missed. Marion Overholt

Uncle Mike always seemed a bit larger than life to me. When I was a boy, about 10, Mike was visiting Montreal and took me to a Habs game, they were playing the Kings that night. We had great seats down in the reds. After the game, he decided I should get my programme autographed. We were directed to a long queue that led to a dutch door that the players would come up to and sign autographs. Mike was having none of that. He excused his way through the line to and then past the door. I found myself in the player's garage. The players in their dark overcoats towering over me. One after another "Nos Glorieux" would leaf through the programme to sign their photo in the program. I treasured that programme for many many years. RIP Uncle Mike. I know you won't have to bluff your way past St. Pete like you did Forum Security.
