On the recordFebruary 13, 2024
Today I rise to honor the life of my very good friend, Raymond ``Ray'' Cordova, and his legacy of service. Ray was a proud Vietnam war vet. After serving in Vietnam, he returned home to help build our Nation through his work with the Communications Workers of America. Ray didn't care who you were, Democrat or Republican. Ray represented every working man and woman, and he fought for the rights of every worker that he came across. In fact, Ray Cordova is the only man I know that debated Jimmy Hoffa and outlived Jimmy Hoffa and lived to tell the story about how he debated Jimmy Hoffa. He was a staple in our community, and I was lucky to call him my very good friend. Ray will be remembered for his tremendous service not only to his country but to his family and community.
