Condolence: I 'loved' Ray. My parents, Richard & Betty Nolley, managed the county home & land that the Daviess Co. Airport was on. Ray taught me to fly shortly after the airport opened. -- he get tired of me 'telling' him where I wanted to go when we were showing one of my friends around town - from the sky. Ray and my dad were very close. I know it bothered him a lot when dad passed away in 1970.
I haven't been home since 1970 but I know that everyone who knew Ray also lost a good friend. He was a very special person when I was a teenager. I wonder if he ever knew that my boyfrield & I would sometimes 'park' on the grass runway after the airport was closed - of course.

Condolence: Happy 90th birthday Dad... I miss you more each day and love you always.
Lisa and Ronnie

Condolence: Ray was a very important part of my childhood. Aviation was one of my earliest ventures into adulthood; at the age of 13, Ray made the first entry in my log book that is stamped "Davies County." He was not perfect ,but he was the pilot's pilot whom we all looked up to. An inspiration.

Condolence: I started flying a two axis Ultra Light in 1988 and got a hanger in Paoli to keep it. I was wanting something with better control and so I bought a three axis Phantom Ultra Light. I quickly found that I didn't have the experence to fly it. This is when I took flying lessions with Ray and got my Pilot license. After taking One or two lessons I felt very confident that I could fly the Phantom.

I have to say that Ray didn't waste any time teaching you to control the plane, first on the ground, then in the air, spins, stalls, snap rows, etc., we did it all. I felt very confident flying with Ray. He told me he was more at home in the air than on the ground, and I believe he was.
Ray gave me the full flying instructions and more, and it was the extra instructions that I believe saved my life at least two times. This is something that a lot of the new flight instructors don't take the time to do, or are afraid of what the plane will do.

Thanks Ray for the extra training.
But it's not enought to say that Ray was a good flight instructor, I believe he was the best. He wasn't afraid of his plane, also he knew just what it would do in about any situation. He was like a guardian angel setting next to you in bad weather.
No one could ground him while he was able to fly, and I believe he is still flying.
