Lee Ray and family, I know this is a difficult time for you,
especially with it being the Christmas season. Even though I did not know him it is apparent he was a special man. I know he has a great son.

What a mighty fine man "Banker" was. Treasured so many memories with him and also learned to play alot better golf, dominoes, and moon by knowing him. Loved his life stories. Wish he had written a book. I'm going to miss him.

Played many a round of golf with Banker. Not sure he ever hit a shot he really liked, but was always entertaining. He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend. You ran a good race.

I will miss Gene and his periodic visits full of stories about banking and "the old days" He was a pistol, and I enjoyed knowing him. Randy Brint
Gene was a good friend, and I shall miss his candor and his wit.
