Ray and his lovely wife, Marietta were best friends with my husband, Jex. They came to Missouri for our youngest daughter's wedding, and back again in 2008 where Ray gave the most wonderful salute of love and friendship when Jex passed. A beautiful couple, a beautiful man and amazing friends. My deepest sympathy to his family.
My grandfather was a generous, kind, thoughtful, and attentive man. I loved listening to him read Luke 2 to the whole family on Christmas Eve and I loved hearing his faith promoting stories when we were all gathered together in Zion each Spring as we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ together each Easter. I always felt welcome and loved when I was around him. When my wife and I honeymooned in Kauai he insisted on treating us to a a helicopter tour of Waimea Canyon "the Grand Canyon of Hawaii". Thank you Grandpa, for sharing your love of nature, flight, and above all, thank you for sharing your testimony of Heavenly Father and his plan, and Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice. We love you and we will miss you until we meet again.
Ray is one of the kindest, most generous people I know. My condolences to his family.
My father passed away when I was fairly young the Ray Farrer was like a dad to me up whenever I was going through a major change in my life he always had advice for me. He was a kind man and he's definitely somebody I gravitated to as a father figure. The world will not be as good of a place without him. But we do have his children and the people he's influenced and now it's up to us to make up the difference
Maryetta, We were so sad when we read of Ray's passing. He always had a smile on his face and always said Hello or waved when he passed by our house. We missed both of your terribly when you left Los Prados and Palm View Village. Prayers for you and your family as you go through this most difficult time. Mary Beth and John Dempsey
The entire Thinger family send our love to you Doug in the loss of your beloved father. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to him because I can see so many of his outstanding characteristics in you.
God bless you and Stacey, your dear mother, and family.
Sincerely and lovingly,
Sister Norma Thinger
