North Shore Oahu

January 31, 2014

This was taken at North Shore Beach in Oahu. It was Ray's favorite beach in Oahu. He woke me up real early that morning so that he could take me there to see the sunrise. . Ray was such a romantic. We enjoyed watching it rise together at our favorite place. Ray found that stick and for whatever reason wanted his picture taken with it. Ray was funny in that way. He always made me laugh. I'll have to go back there one day with Ashley. Ray would love that. I miss your smile Ray. Your memory will always be with me. Carla

Baby AJ and Uncle Ray 1994

January 30, 2014

Another one of my favorite photo's, taken in Studio City, CA in 1994.  This my son AJ Michael DeMayo at about 4 months old, with his Uncle Ray who came to visit and stay with us for a few days.  

Uncle Ray and AJ had a very special relationship, Ray would entertain AJ for hours we had an airplane swing on our patio that AJ loved, and Ray would swing him in there and tickle him.  AJ enjoyed every moment!

Ray had a way with little children, because Ray never lost that fun we all have as little kids. That is something I loved about my brother Ray, he never allowed himself to grow up too much, he left the fun in life and lived to the fullest.  

I am so grateful to have had a brother like you Ray.... Really missing you today xxoo

My Brother Ray ~ My Wedding Day '92

January 30, 2014
This is one of my most favorite pictures with my brother Ray, taken on my wedding day October 17, 1992.  On this day, I married the love of my life Al DeMayo, whom I am still married too.  Ray, was so happy for me that day, he knew how much I loved Al, and his was a huge supporter of my marriage.  Through all the stress and drama of planning for a wedding, I remember that Ray had been staying at our apartment sometimes and he would tell me how happy he was for me, and that all of the planning did not mean anything, he would say "it's who you marry Teresa"....

I will never forget....

Then at the wedding with all that goes on, it's hard to catch the bride she is running around, kissing, hugging and thanking everyone for coming.. He came up to me and grabbed me and said - I am so happy for you Teresa, and I love you.. Lucky for me there was the photographer, and with a smile, the picture was taken and today and I ever so grateful... Love you Ray my brother, my friend to the end... Your lil sis xxoo 

DecaSource Lighting Co. employee #5?

January 28, 2014

Ray was working full-time with us at the small lighting company Teresa and I owned, DecaSource Lighting. His sister Stephanie ran the front office while he assembled and maintained movie lighting equipment. This picture shows me, my son AJ and Ray. It was taken on an important day, the very last business-day of that company. We sold out to the largest movie lighting company in the US, Mole Richardson. Ray was there till' the very end. He was always happy, and always thinking-up some way to save time or money, both of which were a bit scarce back then. 

Ray, if you are reading this, rest easy knowing that no one handled those lights as good as you did. Thanks. I'll miss you.

Brother-in law, Al 

January 27, 2014

This picture was taken on our first trip to Oahu,Hawaii.  Ray and I rented a jeep that day and drove around the Island.  We had so much fun.  I remember him telling me that this was one of his favorite photos of us.  This brings back great memories.  Ray loved the ocean and I think this was the first time snorkling at the beach for him.  Great memories indeed :)

Head-shot of my brother Ray

January 25, 2014

This picture was take professionally around 2005. It was a "Head Shot" used for getting one of many acting roles he earned. This one used the stage-name "Ryan Stone". I guess they could call him whatever they want, as long as they called him for the next gig. You look good Bro...
