Christopher & Natalie,
I got to know your dad in the summer of 1979 when the two of us toiled away as co-op employees in the model building shop of Dalton-vanDijk-Johnson in downtown Cleveland. He helped me learn how to build architectural models that were up to the high standards of Pete vanDijk without inadvertently removing my fingertips with an Xacto knife.
We also discovered our mutual love of softball when we played for the DvDJ office team that summer and he began to slowly convince me that the Indians were worth rooting for despite their perennial losing teams. That was sage advice.
Now if they could just win a World Series!
Ray was a wonderful guy and I was lucky to get to know him.
He will be greatly missed by all of us who had the pleasure of spending time with him.
Please accept our deepest condolences.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
- Patrick Campbell and family
