I'm so sorry for your loss. I will miss Ray seeing him when I come home to Milltown each summer. He was a great teacher and friend in my adult life.

Mickey & Family,
My sympathy goes out to you after reading about Ray's death. I remember being neighbors & friends when you first came to Milltown & babysitting the kids. I think Ray liked the idea of not having to drive me home after watching the kids as I lived within a hundred feet of your house. May God comfort you at this time & remember the fun times we had together.

On behalf of Olive and the Klatt family, we extend to you our deepest sympathies and prayers. It was a great gift to have Ray in our lives as a friend, great teacher and colleague with Dick. Dick never smiled more or laughed as much, as when he was talking about hunting with Ray. We pray for strength and peace for you in the weeks and months ahead.
Sincerely, Rick Klatt and Family.

Although I wasn't an art student, I spent a large amount of my study halls in Mr. C's room creating signs to cheer on our sports teams. He was generous with supplies and kindness. I loved the time I spent in that room. It was so very fun! And, I remember being at track meets with Mr. C and Mikki. Those memories are part of what made high school a wonderful time in my life! I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. C. I had Mr. C as an art teacher for several years at Unity. I graduated over two decades ago and possess almost no artistic ability, yet because of Mr. C I created several pieces of art that I still display in my house. Two paintings, a large latch hook and a kiln fired/glazed clay igloo for a hamster I had at the time. He was one of a kind...

My heartfelt condolences to Micky and family. Thank you for sharing Mr. C with us all of these years. I loved him and all he gave to us back in high school in the 70s. His classes were the best part of high school! He was a pivotal role model for me and without his influence, my life would be very different. He was a breath of fresh air and so much fun. I will never forget his inspiring, artistic, loving example.
