Dear Ray,
I said that your passing closed a chapter of my life. That is far from the truth. Each time my thoughts wonder, I, inevitably am drawn back to 625 Liberty St. No longer is there any sorrow. I will get this huge grin thinking back to all the memories. Thank you Ray, Phil, Julie and Al for being such a great part of my life. RIP RAY, and the whole gang.

I met Ray while working part time at Yocco's in 1969. He taught me the importance of customer service, always taking orders with the words "next please" whether there was one customer or a line out the door.
Condolences to the Royer family. RIP in peace Ray.

It is with sad news that I read of Ray's passing. He was a dear friend and also enjoyed our time together bowling with him and Woody at Blvd lanes on Monday evenings. He gave me great many memories and laughs that I will never forget. Peace be with Ray and his family.

I have known Ray for 55 years. When i started working at Yocco´s in April of 1968, the 4 pillars of the company were Al and Julie Iacocca, Phil DiCampli, and Ray. Ray´s passing closes a significant chapter of my life. I always had a great time working with these guys and my memories of these wonderful men and Yocco´s are as vivid as the days they happened. RIP Ray.
