Ray was my boyfriend, who I always loved, he owned a piece of my heart. Now I find out today he is gone. Ray, I have missed you over the years and looking to see how Morgan and Kaitlyn are doing, I find this. What a sad memorial day this will be. God Bless Marie, and hugs to the girls and Mark. I see Big Ray is gone too... I am so sad.

We knew him as HondoRay. Truly a wonderful man and a bright spirit who brought friendship, love, laughter and joy to those of us who knew him through our shared love of western movies, TV and books. He and I shared a long-distance friendship that was genuine and meaningful even if we never met face-to-face. I miss him and think of my friend often.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Hondo Ray's passing this evening. I met Hondo in Utah earlier this year at the Western Legends festival and instantly took a liking to him. How could you not? Hondo was full of fun and energy. He was a beacon of joy who brightened the day of anyone who took the time to talk to him. He's one of those people you can never forget. My deepest condolences to his parents that he loved so much and to all his friends and family.

To HondoRay... We know each other from the Fans of the West list. He truly loved the West and he traveled many times to the festivals to see his heroes. And he was not selfish in his time on his vacation.....he went through alot of trouble for his fellow western lovers on the list and he obtained many pics and signatures for people. He gave of his time and money willingly to make other people on the list happy since they could not go to the festivals. I for one have to thank him for all he did for me. He and I had some interesting conversations and he made me feel very special....he told me what a kind and caring person he thought I was, but that is what I actually felt about him. I called him a true cowboy and he seemed to think that was the greatest!!! Well, I meant it.....HondoRay, you are a true cowboy and you will be missed dearly....I am sending my love to you and of course, my prayers for you and your family. With all my Love, Carmen aka Little Joe's Sierra

I was so fortunate to have met "HondoRay" in Tucson a couple of years ago at The High Chaparral reunion. He was such an energetic and charming person that I was immediately captivated by his "love of life" attitude. And I am proud to have called him a kindred spirit in the love of the old west. He gave so much joy to his online family at "Fans of The West" chat group. He always had a witty comeback that gave me a chuckle. His generous spirit was well-known by all of us with whom he shared a video or two. We will miss him but he will always be apart of our group. ¡Vaya con dios, mi amigo, hasta luego!

I only knew Ray (HondoRay our forum) online on a forum for Western lovers. I had always hoped that one day we all would get to meet. Ray always had a joke to tell and he'd often tell of his adventures going to the Western festivals and gatherings. I am saddened by his passing and I offer his family my condolences.

I was so shocked, so stunned to hear of "HondoRay's" passing. While I didn't know him face to face, he was a great friend on the western group we both belonged to. He was so generous and kind, and I always asked him to look my husband and I up if he was coming to Albany for any reason. RIP, HondoRay. A great cowboy!

Raymond, a cousin by marriage, a great friend by the Hand of God. I'll find it difficult when I come to Herkimer and not see Raymond at the store. He always made me smile, no matter how bad a day I was having--just one of his many talents. Raymond had a way about him, that allowed him to lift the spirits of all he came in contact with. Raymond, may God keep you in the palm of his hand, until we are all together again. michael

My earliest memories have you in them...from digging forts and playing wiffleball to snowball fights and watching Saturday morning cartoons...tattle-taling on each other, ice skating, swimming all summer long and SPANISH class (Poor Mrs. Schad !!!!!!)
...and coming home every summer and looking forward to your mile-wide smile and genuine enthusiasm for life...and ARIZONA...we definitely had alot to talk and laugh and dream about...
I can't believe you're gone...
REST in peace my old friend till we meet (and laugh) again.
Much Love and Happy Trails,

Dear Marie, Ray and Mark, I was very sorry to hear the sad news about "Ramie". I have wonderful memories of growing up next door to the Entwistles and fondly recall playing in the yard between our two homes. I specifically remember how Raymond's tongue would stick out to the side of his mouth when he concentrated on coloring within the lines during "quiet time". In retrospect, he probably was showing us even back then that life was not meant to "live within the lines". I will miss him. Jani

Ray was absolutley a one of a kind man. With his bright smile and spirited laugh, I agree he lit up any room he entered. I am very saddened by his passing. Ray was a very loyal client in my salon and we all very much enjoyed his company. He will be greatly missed. Ray spoke very highly of his family and how important they all were to him. He also spoke of how life is too short, and his advise was to enjoy it fully. He was always so excited about his wildwest vacations and was very excited about going this time. Atleast his passing was in a place where he loved. My heart goes out to his family during this difficult time. RIP Raymond.

Dear Uncle Ray, Aunt Marie, and Cousin Mark: I am deeply saddened by Ray's sudden passing. I will always recall his trademark smile. Raymond would bring life to any family gathering with his unique laughter. Whenever I would run into Raymond he always greeted me with a "hey cos!" I always admired the manner in which he was able overcome some of life's obstacles and as a result of his own personal successes channeled his energies into helping others. Raymond had the ability to make friends instantly as he enjoyed cultivating long term friendships. As cousins we were always envious of his youthful appearance --he never seemed to age! More importantly, Raymond was a proud Entwistle and family was important to him. I was often asked if I was realted to Raymond--he knew everyone! I know there are no simple words which can ease the pain and sorrow. Raymond spent his final days participating in something that brought him personal enjoyment and tranquility. Certainly, we will all meet up with him again and he will be waiting to greet us with that infectious smile. Our family will miss him deeply but will never forget the great person he truly was and his love for life and family. May you be at peace cousin Raymond we will meet again. Love, Cousin Barry

Words can not even begin to describe how I feel and how I have felt over the last week. In my years of growing up I had so many people, you being one of the main people, there for me and to guide me to work through the rights and wrongs in life and to never judge which has made a strong, independent person. Ray, you will truly be so missed that I can not describe it or express it in any way but to tell you that I love you and am so thankful that I had you in my life for all of these years. You will live forever in my heart and soul! Love and miss you - Theresa To my extended family, Morgan, Katie, Mark, Gram and Gramp, I love you all.

Marie,Ray and Mark: Its so hard for us to believe Ray has passed on. He was one of my best friends ever. Ray and I have shared 23 years as friends and had a lot of fun weather it was working in the garage, at the store, or at each others house. Ray was like another brother to me. Ray had that unique voice that no matter where you were you knew it was Ray. He was a fantastic person always willing to help. Everyone knew he was a big Yankees fan because he let you know one way or another. Ann and I also loved to watch Nascar with Ray. Would you believe it got quite loud at times. Ann and I will always be looking for Ray to come thru the door on Friday night. What a friend I had for 23 years. We just feel lost without you Ray. You will never be forgotten. Ann and I really loved you Ray. You also have a wonderful family, and our prayers go out to them. Rest in peace Ray and we will see you again someday, Ann and Jeff

Uncle Raymond was the best uncle any one could ask for. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever went through. He was more than just my uncle. He was my BEST FRIEND. He meant everything to me. I could tell him anything and he would listen. I could do the worst thing possible and he would never yell at me. He was everything. Every day at 6PM i would wait til he came to work just so i could go over and enjoy is company. He never hesitated to just hand me 20$. Even when i didn't even ask. As a kid that meant everything. Uncle Raymond was my best friend for my whole life. He was also my God Father. I miss him more than anyone could imagine. I lovee him so much. Rest in Peace Uncle Raymond. ill see you again one day.

Dear Marie, Ray Sr., Mark, and kids We are devastated to hear of the loss of Ray. We shall ever remember his warm friendship and his smile and humor. He was so full of life it is hard to understand this. I remember him from school and from visiting my cousins who lived closeby on Steuben Road. He has taught me that even the brightest stars in the sky can suddenly go dark, and to remember that every day is precious. I hope you all will soon recover from this loss, because you are wonderful folks. God Bless you all. Stay well, and be assured that Ray will forever be closeby in spirit. What a wonderful guy he was!

Such sad news about a new friend.
We met Ray for the first time on the 20th of October whilst attending a tv western reunion in Tucson Arizona.
Straight away we got on great with him but then who wouldn't as he was a remarkable person.
He always made us laugh and just to be in his company was great fun.
On the sunday we along with Ray went on a trail ride for the day up at old Tucson which was when we added the pops to his cowboy nick name which even the trail guide was calling him,we all got on great and had a good time with lots of laughs especially when Ray moaned about his sore butt!
Back at the hotel we had dinner together swapping email addresses and had arranged to have breakfast the following morning as it was the day we were leaving to go home but to our dissapointment Ray was nowhere to be seen.
Now after hearing the sad news we know the reason why.
You can be sure Ray that we will never forget you and I know you'll be watching over us next time we are on the trail.
God bless you cowboy

Raymond and I go way back. All the nights we spent at the old McDonald's parking lot hanging out with the "townies". I remember Raymond's white ford station wagon all the way through the years of the red Turino which we drove hundreds of miles around the back country roads partying. Raymond, Cy and I traveled all over going to concerts, spent many nights hanging out at the Village Inn drinking Molson beer and playing fooseball and pool with Uncle Ernie tending bar. The times we spent at Bernie Rockwell's body shop, the nights we spent up at Sarge's on East German Street Ext. drinking beer and watching the Yankees and Rangers, the go cart races that Raymond, Sarge, Jeff and I went to. And I will never forget the escapades we had with Trevor. Thanks for the great memories, it's hard to say goodbye to such a good friend. I will miss you.
