Their stories reflect personal relationships, lifelong service, and community involvement as part of their legacies. Detailed full obituaries can be found on SILive.
Richard offered support without judgment and advice without pretense. His sobriety not only transformed his own life but also became a beacon of hope for countless others seeking healing.
He is survived by his wife, Sandra Hoey. He was a beloved brother-in-law and cherished uncle to many. A celebration of Ray's life will take place on Wednesday.
