I remember hearing Ray whistling and hearing him way before seeing the big brown truck coming down the driveway. And him coming into Turkey Hill tormenting my mom and I when we worked there. Such a nice man. Bets, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolence to the Sheller family. Years ago when I first worked at UPS, Ray was my shop steward. I knew him to be a

mentor who was well respected in the work place. It was a pleasure to have known him.
