If I may take the liberty to speak for Ray's colleagues at Rhodia and Solvay, I know that Ray will be missed. He was a great long-term employee and always came to work ready to get things done. Ray's colleagues always asked him to do the impossible and he did it. He went about his work without complaint, always doing the job right the first time. I always admired him for that. My prayers are with his family at this difficult time. James Harton former North American President of Rhodia and Solvay (2005-2014)
