My heart is heavy for the Healy Family and for my parents Larry and Hilda who are unable to travel and personally express their condolences to a loving family of a true friend. As a child I may not have been aware of how significant "Ray Healy" was in my family's life, although I was very familiar with his name as it was often mentioned. My parents, more often than not and to this day, would refer to him by his first AND last name (together) which made me aware that he was an honorable person who deserved respect. It is only now, as an attentive adult, that I also understand that Ray Healy was a one-of-a-kind friend who also earned my parents' love.
On behalf of my parents, Eladio "Larry" and Hilda Rivera, I relay their sentiments:
Ray was the older brother I never had. We will always have a special place in our hearts for him and his family. - Larry
We've known Ray since about 1973. He helped us out during difficult times and he was a true friend to our family -- he was there for us when we needed him the most. He will always live in our hearts and in our memories for all he did. - Hilda
The Rivera Children (Marisol "Soly", Iliana "Nani" and Elaido "Junior") wish all those who loved and knew Ray Healy that you find comfort in your memories of him and remember his good deeds. Peace be with you.
