When I messaged Ray's wife Norma I asked her if it would be OK to share her message on here and she said go ahead and sent me this amazing pic of her and Ray to post...

Thank you so much for sharing the remembrance thread. I would listen to him some times when he was on the forum. He loved it, he loved boxing. It shows he touched many people. Some with love and some, I will say not so much love. I don't know if you know but when Ray and I met he had his gym. We were married 35 years so it was a long time ago. He helped me get licensed to work the corner. It didn't always go over very well as they didn't like a female in the corner. You can only image how he handled it when they refused to let me in the corner. Those were the days.

I was unable to see Ray's final words to you all but I know Ray knew what he was up against. He always has words of encouragement and wants the best for everyone.

Thank you again for all the posts. He will be missed. Norma



What a great pic...aye? BTW...I did fix the link to the History Section thread for her to finally see.

Ray used to be ahead of a club in New Haven. I remember Steve Cotton was one great fighter he had at one point [I don't know about Steve development though (?)].
Ray Bright was a strong protege Ray C had. Ray B. won NE 147lb in '85.
Yeah. Well known in the region.

Ray Bright turned pro.
