Ray is a constant positive influence of the staff and students. He works incredibly hard, he is consistent, he is a joy to work with. Ray is always working to build people up (staff and students alike). He is generous and cares so deeply for everyone. He changes peoples’ lives simply by meeting them. We are so lucky to have Ray as part of the team. Speaking of the team, he is the ultimate team player. Ray does not complain about anything he is asked to do and he does these tasks with a smile on his face. Simply put, Ray gets things done! Speaking personally, Ray has helped me tremendously both with nursing and positive affirmations about myself. Ray spreads joy throughout the collaborative. He remembers all that he encounters with people and uses these thoughts to formulate his responses and work to help people with anything they may be dealing with. His positivity is infectious. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this nomination. He is the definition of a true Marigold.”
