| I just received the news of Ray’s passing, and my prayers and heart goes out to his family and all his friends, including those at Accountability. I just read the tribute about Ray, and the kind words written were so true about him, and I only knew Ray as a client. I had been a client a number of years ago, with Ray inviting me to his church, which I visited one time shortly before I moved to the High Desert, however I was unable to join due to my need of finding a church closer to home. After I moved to the HD, I did the "Turbo Tax" thing for a few years, however returned to Accountability in 2007 as I needed the expert help on my taxes as I lost my husband from Cancer on 12/16/06. Ray not only did my taxes, but was patient and kind, stopping to listen to me if I got chocked up mentioning my late husband as Ray did my taxes. I shared with Ray how much I missed my husband, but was comforted in knowing he was with the Lord, and then I started crying a bit. Ray stopped and listened to me until I was able to compose myself. Well, I returned in 2008, and Ray was so good trying to figure what options I had, including how to handle my son’s taxes. I remember my last words to Ray were "See you next year!" Sadly, I won’t see my special tax guy in life, however I sure hope we bump into each other when I get to Heaven. Thank you for reading my thoughts, and "See you all next year!" Hopefully at your Ontario Mills office! |

I was shocked to hear of Ray’s passing. He was so honest, kind, thoughful, and caring. I will always remember the time he prayed for me when I lost my job. How unique to have someone in charge of your taxes that truly loves God. He will be greatly missed.

SHOCKED AND TRULY SADDENED- I have known Ray for over 20 years. First as a friend and fellow follower of Jesus and then eventually as my "tax man." Ray was the perfect combination of gentleness, explorer, and adventurer. Years ago when we would mountain bike together, I could never keep up with his strength or endurance. He was always the guy leading the way on any adventure, but he was also quick to turn around and make sure that all of the stragglers arrived safely to wherever that days adventure was leading to. God has taken a good man and we will miss him greatly.
Looking forward to seeing you soon friend, Ken |

Dear Family and Friends of Ray,
I’m so sorry for our loss of Ray’s loving presence here with us. I think of the soon-to-come day when we’ll be with him again and he’ll greet us with his grinning face, and possible say "What, didn’t you think we’d see each other again?" I’m happy to know he’s happy right now with the Heavenly Father.
My heart goes out in sorrow though for all his loved ones who are hurting. My prayers are with you - and much more importantly, Jesus himself is with you all, very closely. I knew Ray through The Vineyard church in Ontario - he was the first person to introduce himself to us. His son Jeff tutored me through college algebra when I had to go back to college, he paid me to clean his house when I was hurting for money, and he’s been my tax man for over 10 years. He is the kindest, warmest, person I’ve known. God Bless you All! |

| We were so sad to hear of the passing of Ray. He was a very sweet and professional person. He was always super helpful to us when tax season came around. We really appreciated him and will miss him. |

WE are so sorry for the Revenaugh’s loss, When we finally found out about Ray we were turely shocked.Our prayers are with the family of Ray. Larry has been the one taking care of our taxs, Because I couldn’t take the news anymore,so I gave the job to Larry. I’ve had more peace since we’ve been with Accountability,and there staff. I know that Ray will always be with his family,the memroies are our footprint on earth. I always think of the prayer,that the author is unknown called Footprints. There was only one set of prints in the sand,and the Lord said It was then that I carried you. Our Father God will be with everyone in our time of need. I pray that the family takes comfort in knowing he is with our Lord, and he will be with you in your time of need too.

| Ray knew something. We met for the first time in a small office of a house near twenty years ago. We were referred by a friend and met someone who could withstand all that comes with tax forms and data, deadlines and commitments, joys and crisis. Ray had a calming voice as well as an ability to assure that things would work out even in time. His personality was genuine each year. He stood alone and spurred me on to do the same. I will tell my son, although they hadn’t met in person, there are precious few like him that bless our lives. |

My sincere condolences to Ray’s family, colleagues and friends. I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but got to know him over the phone through many conversations.
It was my pleasure and priveledge to have his wisdom and guidance graciously shared with me.......he was an outstanding individual who appears to have contributed greatly to the lives he touched....
I will miss him and those conversations very much....
