Dear Carole and family: On behalf of the Blue Ash Woman's Club, we wish to express our deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones. We will always treasure Ray helping the Blue Ash Woman's Club with our events, especially the 2008 Spring Luncheon. It was so much fun and such a delight to have the past and present mayors help us serve our guests. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Ray McNab was one of the great pillar's of Blue Ash Presbyterian Church, and his supportive comments of my solo work at BAPC will be sorely missed. His devotion to the entire Blue Ash area, through service as Mayor and other positions, is a major factor why Blue Ash enjoys the tremendous reputation of a "quality of life" community. We were honored to enjoy lunch with him, Carole, and the Reuszer's just a few days before his untimely illness.

Ray McNab did all that anyone can do: he left this world, his family, and our community, a better place to live.

Dear Carole and Family, My heart goes out to you all in your loss of Ray, as husband, father, grandpa, and so much more. I will always remember his commitment to God and the church, his willingness to help at any time, and his faithful Republican party allegiance. We would disagree often, but always hug and love each other. May your memories lift your spirits in your time of sorrow.
Love always,
Louisa Baer

To the McNab family,
I worked with Ray as a second year Pipefitter Apprentice for Mack Piping in 1980. A story I still tell about him is that he saw how bored I was just watching him weld so he ordered the tools and material and turned me loose doing some "trim" work. After I would go home for the evening he would stay behind and check my work. Anything that wasn't EXACTLY right would be marked for me to fix the next day.
The point is Ray knew I was capable of doing the work and he was there to guide me thru it the correct way. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that and that he still inspires me 28 years later.
I am currently working in Chicago and can't get to the services,much as I would like to.
Please accept my condolences, God bless and be with you in your times of need.
