I am the ISO auditor for PacShip and had the opportunity to meet Billy Ray during several audit visits. What I will remember most about this great man is the tremendous love that he showed for all whose lives he touched. My last visit with him was on 17 March, St. Patrick's Day last year. The priest at my Greek Orthodox church sent me the prayers for St. Patrick via cell phone and Billy and I shared them. I like to think that St. Patrick has a new buddy up there. God bless you, Billy, and thanks for all you did for others. May his memory be forever. -- Ken

I knew Billy Ray from Pac Ship...when I was a kid my Dad worked there and now I work down at Pac Ship from time to time. Billy Ray always greeted me with a smile and a "how ya doin little Ward" we would talk about the Raiders, Chargers and he would always ask about my kids, he was one of the nicest people I have ever known, he always had a smile on his face and I will miss him greatly when I visit Pac Ship. I am so sorry to hear about his passing, my sympathies to his family.

Billy Ray worked with my Dad at PacShip and met me as a little kid. I went and worked there one summer when I was all grown up and he knew exactly who I was. He brought so much energy and laughter to the building, he will be missed. I am saddened by this news, my condolences go out to his family.

I met Billy Ray in 1989 at PacShip. He was always there to help me when I needed it, and always with a smile. He was a great man, and I will really miss him.
