I met Ray at a Pease Greeters event in Portsmouth back in December of 2019 after returning from Afghanistan (I'm a contractor), and remember his sharp wit and sense of humor. His stories were incredible and very enlightening. I have kept in touch with him and his friend Bruce through the years. I sent Ray a happy birthday card after returning to Kabul, Afghanistan in 2021, and remember how his friend told me he appreciated the friendship. I recently went on a new assignment to Al Udeid air base back in February, and in August we decided to have a flag flow in his honor and send it to his family. We just received a very emotional thank you from his daughter and her family. We can't thank you enough for the honor and pride it gave us to help be a part of this great gift to a great veteran. You will be sorely missed my friend.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Ray.
How I got to know Ray...My parents, Michael and Ann Sign knew Ray way back when. They owned an appliance store on Broadway in Lawrence called Lawrence Element Repair. I believe my dad met Ray through his work at the electrical supply store. They became good friends visiting each other and when Ray moved to Portsmouth, NH they continued their relationship. I came along when they visited and after my dad passed, Ray continued to keep in touch with my mom. Ray also continued to keep in touch with me after my mom passed and we kept in touch through phone calls and cards. His phone calls meant so much to me because he reminded me of my parents and often would bring up stories from days gone by. He so often talked about his daughter Barbara and his sons. RIP Ray. Say "hi" to Mike and Ann Sign!!!!

What an amazing life. What an amazing person. I did not know Mr. Goulet, but my uncle was also at Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion. I read about Mr. Goulet's story on Fox News and just wanted to say that there are many Americans who remember and who care deeply about the sacrifices made on the beach that day and afterwards. Thank you Mr. Goulet for your service to your country. It sounds like you lived a full life and made a difference for the better to the world around you. A man who's legacy lives on. May you rest in peace and may your family and friends be comforted.

My name is Line Goulet. My dad wasfrom Quebec city. He died 2 years ago at age 88. Maybe we are related. I would welcome someone in your family getting touch. As far as I understand, 4 brothers immigrated to Quebec from france.

I have been sending cards to Ray since his 98th birthday. He was always nice enough to call with a thank you that I never forgot him on a holiday either. RIP young man you've certainly earned it.

As fellow Peace Greeters with Ray my wife and I had a "Purpose". Terry's was being the N.H. daughter and cooking him homemade meals. Mine was to relate his WWII stories to the incoming troops as he became the "Silent Man" and reversed their questions to ones of their family and did they have pictures? Ray was short in stature but a Giant in heroism during his WWII excursions. He left his independence here on earth as having spent his last 30yrs. alone in his appartment and invaded Heaven with a "Bang" on this 4th of July. We know you are enjoying your reunion with your "Brothers" and will miss your loving friendship and love of country that you proudly showed!
Till we meet again= Love Always, Terry & Bruce/ The Brady's

I met Raymond back in 1985 when my ex-wife and I bought a house across the street from where he was living in Portsmouth. I was active-duty Air Force at the time. We become good friends and he was a wonderful neighbor. As we had no family nearby, we kind of adopted each other. I lived there till 1998 went we sold the house. I moved back to TN. I have very fond memories with Ray during those years. We stayed in touch by monthly telephone calls after that. Ray was one of the nicest people. He was one of God's special angles on earth. Rest in peace, my friend.
