RAY KANWISCHER AWARD
The Ray Kanwischer Award was presented to Carla Stiver. Ray Kanwischer was a husband, father, friend and a RE/MAX agent. He passed away suddenly in 2006. He had life’s priorities in perspective. He had that smile that was warm, genuine and reassuring. He lent a helping hand to anyone who asked and expected nothing in return. He was quiet and unassuming yet a source of strength to all who knew him. This award honors an associate who epitomizes many of Ray’s qualities.
