"So sorry to hear this. Just found out today Jan 31. He was my work partner at Monroe in the electrical shop. He just commented on one of my facebook post a couple of days ago. He gave no indication that anything was wrong. What a shock.

"We send prayers to the family. Mr Paul will be greatly missed on the radio and at hamfest. he was here last Saturday for a visit and got some tower. May God take him home to be with the silent keys. If I spelled something for give me I have tears running down my face. Wayne KB9ELS and Genice KI5GRX

"I worked with Paul at Monroe. Paul was always a good guy. I'm ashamed that I didn't keep in touch with him as much as I should have. Rose, I want to offer you my sincere condolences. I think Paul had a good life, and I was proud to have known him.

"My heart hurts at the passing of my friend Paul. We first met in 1974 through ham radio, and became friends. He carried me to several FCC testing sessions in Memphis and Little Rock when I was a kid and had no transportation. During the 80's and 90's life took us different directions, and we only talked occasionally. Three years ago, after my retirement, we were able to connect again, and we spoke almost daily by text, phone, or radio. His last test to me said " I have to go to the store, do you need anything. I can leave it in your drive." (we have covid) This was typical of Paul to help someone in need. My heart is broken, and I will miss our daily visits. I love you my brother. RIP

"Paul and I have been real good friends for many years. We spent a lot of time talking on Ham Radio. We also attended a lot of Ham Fest over the years in a lot of locations. I am really going to miss Paul. I helped Paul with some things around his house because of his health problems. I also was planning with Paul about completing some other projects. Paul delayed me completing these projects and I was unable to complete the projects before he passed.

"Rose Marie : I'm so sorry I just spoke too Paul Wednesday and I knew about his heart problems . As you know I'll miss our catfish dinners , he was one of my few friends and I will terribly miss him and our Conversations . I will attend at the Grave site , Paul was most certainly a good and fine man . In Christ Marshall Border

"Doug and I are so sad to learn of Paul Ray’s passing. Our sympathy is with your family during this difficult time.
