Allen Ray was my cousin. I grew up knowing he was a sweet and kind person. We only talked a couple of times a year but I always knew he would call me on my birthday and sing happy birthday to me. I loved him dearly and will truly miss him. Enjoy those family pitch games and tell everyone I love them.

Allen Ray was a blessing to our family. He was my cousin. My mother, Mary Dell, was sisters with his mother, Willa. Allen Ray was a great student throughout his school years. He played the piano well. Allen Ray was alsa a Veteran of the Vietnam War. He was thoughtful and kind. He remembered my birthday with a phonecall every year.
