Uncle Ray is no More!! 
Dear Uncle Ray,
I am so sorry you have left us. No words can express the sorrow I felt when I heard the news. You were a wonderful man, with a great heart that always remembered everyone. I did not get to see you often but each time I did, you always remembered me, engaged in great conversations and gave excellent advice. Though your presence will be greatly missed, I am sure you will be looking down upon us all and helping us cope with your loss. I pray the lord lays you in peace and that your legacy continues on.
Uncle Ray was one of the many people I became close at my young tender age in the “80’s”. He was gracious, caring and supportive. He always treated with great respect even though we came from a culture that children are to be seen not heard. I am still shocked of Uncle Ray’s umtimely death. I know he is in a better place and taking care of all of us. To auntie Thecla, Hang in there. Only God knows why he called uncle Ray so early in his prime. To the children, please hold on to your dad’s memories and stay strong and help your mother out. Jane, my sweet heart, I remember when you were born and how proud your dad was, and always called you his little princess. You are the oldest, please hold the family together.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE

Sad indeed. It has been considerably difficult for me to absorb the passing on of Ray. I met him for the first time when he came to Seat of Wisdom in September 1967. He stood out of the crowd in his own way in several ways. First, he was very protective of his female cousin and classmate, and could do that successfully because he was very physically fit to withstand pressures from senior students. It did not take long for him to earn the nickname “Powercam” after displaying his prowess in fists fights with many students including on the soccer field with Vincent Tamoh or with Michael Ndubie at a College “tail-cutting” event. Second, he came to the game of soccer with his own playing styles. And third, in the Sunday morning after-church-record-player dance, Ray was unique at the “Funky Four Corners” or “Sukisa Man” moves he had copied from a certain Igbo trader whom he admired at Azi on market days. Anyone who knew Ray as a young man definitely has his/her own story about him.
Now with the sad news of Georgiana Fotabonganche’s own passing coming just days after Ray’s appears incomprehensible to me right now. Both Ray and Georgiana are first cousins, and both of them friends of mine. On August 18, 2008, Georgie drove me to the LECUDO meeting in Muyuka!! As I try to make sense of these losses, I want to join other friends in prayers that God almighty will grant them eternal peace, and also grant their families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Mes vives condoleances a la famille eprouvee.
It is such a sad thing to see someone that young and so accomplished died. But we have to remember that what we love on earth, God also love it.
Rest in Peace.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. He fought a good fight and had mammoth courage. My sympathy to his family and my you all continue to share his heart of gold.
As a junior student in SWC Fontem, I remembered
seeing Brother Ray as our “Social Prefect” who indeed was liked by all the students. He was a very caring person and hated to see a junior student being maltreated by a senior student. He was always there to defend the junior students from aggressive seniors.
In fact, he was one of the best ” Social Prefect” we ever had in SWC- Fontem. Because of his gentle nature and style of dancing: be it “Western or Cultural,” he was given the name “Brother Ray “(Big Brother).
May the Heavenly Light shine on Brother Ray as he makes his journey Home to the Father in Heaven! He will be greatly missed by all SWESANS & LECUDO in the U.S.A!
Peace, Brother Ray!

I am extremely sad of the transition of another promising fellow brother. Ray, I do not know you but, I strongly believe today you stand tall among great men. Stay well God has better plans.

TRIBUTES TO LATE UNCLE RAYMOND
Dear uncle Raymond,
They say memories are golden, well may that is true
We never wanted memories, we only wanted you
A million time we needed you, a million times we cried
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love still
In our hearts you hold a place nobody else could ever fill
If love could build a stairway and heartache build a lane,
We’ll walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls in one but one, the chain will link again
Uncle Raymond we shall always love you
From Nkeng Ngu
REST IN PEACE
UNCLE RAY:
I am extremely sorry you have left us. No word can express the sorrow I felt when I heard the death of uncle Ray. Uncle, you were a wonderful uncle who alway remembered everyone, gives advices to people, father of all children, May the heavenly light shine on uncle as he makes his journey home to the father in heaven. My sympathy to antie Tecla and 4kids, you people should take it easy, God knows why he called uncle, father, husband and grandfather so early. And also know that his spirit will always be around you for ever. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFACT PEACE.
Who wouldn’t be proud to have an uncle like Uncle Raymond; a man that never stopped encouraging me and also a man that always kept a warm smile on his face no matter what. You would never guess he was sick based on his positive attitude. Even though he got very pale and had gastric tubes, he still kept the same comforting smile on his face when he spoke to all of us. I wish he didn’t have to go now, but I believe everything happens for a reason. I kept you in my prayers even when everyone knew you were not going to make it and prayed to God for a miracle. But you are gone now and we all miss you especially Aunty Thecla, Jane, Kadie, Nicole and Tori. We know you are watching from a special place. Uncle Ray, you are gone, but your legacy remains forever. May your soul Rest In Peace.

Uncle Ray
Uncle Ray, one of my favorite uncles, was the best farther Jane, Kadie, Nicole, and Tori could ever have. A very kind, gentle and generous man. His death was abominable, feeling distress and sorrow for our family, especially for his wife, Auntie Thecla. The moment i heard about the death of Uncle Ray, depression and downcast of sadness came upon my face. As soon as i got into my room, I poured gallons and gallons of tears. To me, Uncle Ray was a hero, not my only hero. He helped a lot of people, letting them stay in his home. Sharing your own house with other family members is a generous thing to do. Uncle Ray was a very admirable, fine of high quality, and a nice, pleasant and agreeable man. We all loved him and wish he was still alive. But now he is in heaven, looking down on us, and wishing us a happy thanksgiving. REST IN PEACE

Not even the word great can describe how great a man uncle Ray was. From the very first time i met him up until his dying minutes, i saw kindness in a man, indeed kindness beyond imagination. A kindness that overcame any evil that interupted uncle’s day. Even if he was having the worst day of his life, uncle Ray wouldn’t spoil someone elses day by taking his anger out on them, instead he made sure everyone around him was having the best time of their life. Uncle had the ability to make anyone feel good about themselves. If you were in need, he made sure he did his best to provide whatever it is you needed. And still to this day that he is gone, i still get that feeling every time i hear his name. He was not only a great uncle to me but also my sponsor at baptism confirmation, and my very good friend. Now a legend to us, his lagecy will live forever. Let auntie Thecla and the girls know that we shall always keep them in our prayers. Uncle Ray may be physically gone but spiritualy, i feel him watching and listening, and ecourging us to reach the only limit – the sky. We miss you uncle Raymond and i hope your soul rests in perfect peace.

Realy ,words alone can’t express our feelings regarding Uncle Ray’s passing ahead of us.
Well,that’s it,our greatest enemy and God’s-death:the opposite of life-The Deep sleep.AND NOT THE ETERNAL END OF OUR EXISTENCE.uncle RAY is no more but shall rise again.
Since only God knows our hearts and has the best solution to every situation in life;this is the time to draw close to Him for comfort.
what the Bible says about death is comforting.
deepest respect to the entire familt and dear ones most touched.
