I will miss my sassy, funny, eccentric, entrepreneurial, loving, kind, and generous brother-in-law, so very much. He brought so much joy and laughter to this world. It was such an honor and joy to witness the love he had for his wife, my sister, Jeannie Harris. D-ray you will be missed more than words can say. Love you so very much.
