So sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed baby-sitting for the kids. The Prins family was an inspiration for us. You were one on the reasons we pursued an African experience.

I am so sorry about the loss of this extraordinary man. The intelligence , adventurous spirit and and generous nature I have witnessed in his daughter Julie must have been attributes of her father too. My condolences to all the family.

Phyllis, we are very sorry to hear but are left with great memories of you and Ray visiting with our family in Texas and Chile. Even though we saw Ray infrequently, we felt so comfortable around him with his humor and casual presence. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so very sorry to hear this. Ray always eased my fears of going to the dentist when I was little. His soft voice would always ease my fears. All my prayers go to the family as they go through this difficult time. He was a GREAT person.

Bill & I are members of Trinity CRC because of invitations to "try us out if you don't have a church" being new to Fremont. Ray was my dentist and offered that invitation. Over the many years, we have appreciated his Christian witness, mentoring and his friendship. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Phil and family now and as you travel this journey!
