Peggy and the Backe Family.

On behalf of Ray's St. Procopius College classmates, I want to add our praise and admiration of Ray to the tribute page. He was a beloved member of our class, attending class reunions for decades while he could, including a Zoom reunion during the Pandemic. We will miss him but we will keep his warmth and friendship in our hearts to our dying days.

Our condolences and prayers for Peggy and the Backe family and friends

Ray, may Christ give you rest in the land of the living
and open the gates of Paradise to you;
may God receive you as a citizen of the Kingdom,
and grant you blessed welcome

Dear Peggy, Jeanne, Mark, Mara & Joel,
I miss Ray so very much, as I know all of you do. He was always more than a brother-in-law to me. He was a big brother that I never had. Anne, too, always thought of Ray as a brother. We could talk about anything and it was great to drink some beers together and shoot the bull. I especially remember when we were both much younger and we stayed up until about 3 a.m. drinking beer and playing the rebound game. God bless Ray and all of you!

I had the distinct privilege of serving on the board of directors for the North American Veterinary Conference with Ray for several years. He was the consummate scholar and gentleman. His positive and welcoming demeanor along with his genuine concern for his colleagues, our organizational team and his caring commitment to our attendees made him a truly special man. As busy as he was, he never failed to ask me about my wife and children, always caring about others! I am a better person for having served alongside of him. Ray, you were a very special person. It was an honor to have known you. With heartfelt regards, respect and condolences. RMD
