Ray is able to relate with people of all ages, but very easily with children. One of our nephews, Sam loves playing with balls - any kind of ball (baseball, soccer, basketball, etc.). He loves when Uncle Ray is around because he always makes him laugh and they have fun playing with whatever ball is available. When Sam was first learning to speak, Ray quickly came to be known as "Uncle Ball". I love watching Ray as he interacts with his nieces and nephews because he can quickly connect on their level and is able to be in the moment with them, enjoying what they like.
