Dear Joan and family,
I have always held both you and Ray in such high esteem! You are 2 of the coolest people I know, and I admire your way of life and love ❤️ I cherish the time we went out to your house to view all of the paintings and see where you guys lived :). I always loved talking to Ray and he made me feel special when he sketched my face with cigarette ash. I cherish that piece to this day along with a big framed copy of Ray’s painting of our beloved Pehlke Sauer Kraut day. It will be on display this June for the Monkton Celebrations! But normally it is proudly displayed on our recroom wall. I wish you strength and peace as you will miss Ray so much, and please know he left so many of us with fond memories and a lasting legacy ❤️ Lisa Gibbings (nee Boyd) - Elmer and Beth’s granddaughter

“Dear Joan and all the Bird kids, Please accept my sympathies for your loss of Ray. I was lucky enough to navigate that long lane and have a short visit with Ray and Joann a few years ago. I remember Ray buying my World Book set of encyclopedias about 62 years ago. I couldn’t afford the payments! I have many fond memories of S.S. # 4 and the Birds were a big part of them.”

I got an impromptu drawing lesson from Ray as a kid. He taught me that what I considered to be mistakes had their place in the creative process. I thank him for this, and for other life lessons. My thoughts are with Joan, and with all those dear to him. May you find comfort in good company.

Joan, as a young impressionable teenager, I used to come over to the farm with Kendra & Ed (Krauter). I remember the house filled with candles, music and happy friends. Just thinking of your loving home fills me with happiness. May your cherished memories sustain you through this difficult time.

Joan, our friendship began many years ago, with both you and Ray, where we all shared our love of the outdoors, wine and life, although the years have passed, and distance has kept us apart, our friendship and love has never ceased.
. My thoughts are with you as you pass into anther phase of your life, with the loss of your partner. Just know that I am thinking of you in your grief, words can't say enough about what a wonderful man he was, his humor, his grace in life, with the land and the water where wonders to watch. Life lessons where learned easily as you watched him and listened to his stories. The world has lost a truly Great Man,
Sending love, Cathy Hill, Greg and all of the family
