Words and memories by Ann Philopena:

"My brother was my savior...literally. He donated his stem cells to me when I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Without him, I would not be alive today. He was a great and Godly human being. Fantastic dad and grandpa. He had the greatest laugh and he had a wonderful sense of humor"

"Amazingly wonderful man who was devoutly committed to his Lord. He loved his family and friends and always had kind and funny things to say. Forever a happy person. Ray you may not physically be here but live on in our hearts"
