April, Dakota and Larissa. I am so sorry to hear of Rae's passing. He had a heart of gold and could paint like a pro. He always supported the group home by attending meat raffles and painting the home when it needed it. He alway had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. Wishing you all the best during the days to come.

Back in 1997 Rae was a willing cohort in the battle to keep CEE open. He worked tirelessly both in and behind the scenes using his carpentry skills as well as his booming voice at the rallies. Way too soon Rae. Way too soon. Heartfelt sympathy to your family .

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Words cannot express how I feel about Rae's passing. I worked with Rae at CEEH for 29 years. In that time I watched him grow up, get married, have children and excel in his painting profession. We had many chats and laughs along the way.
Rae was always there to lend a helping hand to construct/paint the hospital floats for the Christmas parades.
He will be missed by many.
My heartfelt sympathy to all Raes family and close friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So heartbroken to hear of Rae's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting Rae when I worked at CEE and the first thing that comes to mind is his kind smile and awesome painting skills. We had more than few good laughs along with everyone else at CEE. He certainly made an impact on those he came in contact with. My sympathy to Rae's family at this sad time.
